In February 2014, Kidd had a loan spell at Queen of the South from Celtic.[5] In June 2014, after being released by Celtic, Kidd signed a permanent deal for the Dumfries club.[6] Kidd scored two league goals and one cup goal in 75 competitive first-team matches for the Doonhamers, including a goal versus Rangers that was initially reported in the media as a Lee Wallace own goal. Kidd departed Queens at the end of the 2015–16 season.[1]

On 15 June 2016, Kidd signed for Scottish Championship club Falkirk.[1] On 19 May 2018, he signed a contract extension to remain with the Bairns until the end of the 2018–19 season.[7] Falkirk were relegated to Scottish League One after the final league match of the season, despite defeating league champions Ross County 3–2 at the Falkirk Stadium and Kidd was then released by the Bairns.[8]

On 25 June 2019, Kidd signed for Queen of the South for a third spell with the club.[9]

On 9 July 2020, Kidd was announced as a new signing for East Kilbride.[2]
