After two years in FK Leotar, Kerkez was signed by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar, the oldest football club in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Kerkez's participation in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina would not go unnoticed and around the same time was called up to join his national football team.

In 2005, Kerkez left the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina for Croatian club NK Rijeka in the Prva HNL, the top Croatian football league. His participation in this team would last until 2007 when he joined the squad of AEL Limassol, from the Cypriot First Division, where has currently had 65 appearances and scored 4 goals.
