Career

Early career

Born in Ruse, Kerchev began his football career playing for Dunav Ruse at the age of seven.[2] In 2010, he joined Ludogorets's youth setup.[3]

After spending August and the early part of September playing with Ludogorets II, Kerchev was called up to the senior team by manager Eduard Eranosyan. He made his debut in the A Group on 19 September, playing full 90 minutes in the centre of defence against Botev Plovdiv. On 19 March 2016, he scored his first goal in the team's league match against Beroe Stara Zagora at Beroe Stadium. Ludogorets won the match 2–0.[4]

For the 2017-18 season Kerchev returned for club's reserve team from his loan from Lokomotiv GO and started as a captain in the first match for the season on 24 July 2017 against Lokomotiv 1929 Sofia.[5]

On 13 June 2018, Kerchev's contract was extended and he was sent on a season-long loan to Botev Vratsa.[6]
