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.[6] 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.[7]

On 25 June 2019, Kidd signed for Queen of the South for a second spell with the club.[8]
