After putting pen to paper at the AXA Melwood Training Centre, she told Liverpoolfc.com: “I feel like my career in the last few years has really changed a lot. I obviously moved to Germany and that was a challenge itself, being in that intense environment with such world-class players has been really good for my development.

“And obviously I’ve grown into the role with the national team, which has been really good. I’m hoping to bring my experience and the things I’ve learned over the last couple of years to Liverpool in this loan move.

“At Scotland I’ve taken on more of a leadership role there and I’ve really grown into the role. I’m still continuing to develop that too.

“In terms of club level, I’m really looking forward to being here at Liverpool and bringing my experience, really taking that challenge and hopefully helping the team get the results needed and get further up the table.”

The 25-year-old joined Bayern in the summer of 2023 and made 13 appearances in the Frauen-Bundesliga during a debut season in Germany that ended with her club winning the title.

Kerr, who has tallied 32 senior international caps for Scotland, has also made more than 20 appearances in the Women’s Champions League throughout her career.

She moved to Germany after helping Rangers win their first Scottish Women’s Premier League title in 2022 – a year in which she was also named Scotland’s Women’s Player of the Year.

She was twice voted into the PFA Scotland Team of the Year, in 2021-22 and 2022-23 respectively.

Kerr began her professional career with Glasgow City, where she was part of a squad that lifted the domestic title in four consecutive years – 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 – and reached the quarter-finals of the 2019-20 Champions League.
