UPDATE: Ex-AFL star Daniel Kerr bailed over overnight incident

Former West Coast Eagles footballer Daniel Kerr has been released on bail after being charged over an incident in Perth.

Kerr, 31, has been charged with two counts of endangering the life, health or safety of a person after an incident in Glendalough last night.

He appeared briefly today in Perth Magistrates Court, where he was granted bail with conditions including a curfew.

In a statement, West Coast said they were disappointed and saddened by the news of Kerr's arrest.

"We will continue to support Daniel, who was an outstanding player for this club, to get the help he needs to recover from this situation and to get his life back on track," the club said.

Kerr made his AFL debut in 2001 and played 220 games for the Eagles.

He was runner-up in the 2005 Brownlow Medal count and won a premiership with the Eagles in 2006.

But he was plagued by a series of injuries after 2008 and retired from the AFL in 2013.

Kerr's off-field indiscretions caused some controversy during his career including a scuffle with teammate Ben Cousins, a prescription forgery scandal and other charges related to violence.
