Newcastle midfielder Brian Kerr has joined Scottish Premier League outfit Livingston on loan, until January 2004. With United fully stocked in the midfield department these days it's currently hard to see Kerr claiming a first-team spot.

Livington finished 11th in the SPL last season and will be hoping that the capture of Kerr will push them further up the league this season.

Kerr spent most of last season on loan to Coventry and playing in the Newcastle Reserves, however he did manage to make 10 appearences for United in all competitions.

Whenever called upon by Sir Bobby, Kerr has impressed and the 21-year-old may yet actually have a future at St. James' Park if he impresses in Scotland.
