Dundee defender Kerr Waddell is a product of the Dens Park youth academy and enjoyed a loan stint with Clyde prior to making his competitive debut in a Betfred Cup tie against Raith Rovers at the beginning of last term.

The 20-year-old centre-half went on to establish himself as a first-team regular with the Premiership outfit, making a total of 22 appearances, memorably scoring twice in a 2-1 win over Hearts.

On 3 July 2018, Ray McKinnon moved to bolster his backline by bringing Waddell to the club on a six-month loan that initially ran until 16 January 2019.

After making his breakthrough under Jonatan Johansson, the committed centre-half agreed to extended his stay until the end of the campaign, penning an extension on 14 November 2018.
