Career

Chelsea

Hutchinson joined the Chelsea Academy at the age of nine,[3] and made his senior debut in May 2007, at the age of 18.[3] Hutchinson signed a new four-year contract in August 2007.[5] Later that month, Plymouth Argyle manager Ian Holloway announced his interest in signing Hutchinson on loan.[6] Hutchinson retired from professional football at the age of 21 in August 2010, due to a recurring knee injury.[3][7] It was announced that Hutchinson would work with Chelsea's academy while also studying at university.[7] In December 2011 he signed a new one-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea following a "significant improvement" in the knee problem that had forced him to retire.[8] He made his return as a substitute on 29 April in a 6–1 win over QPR.[9] In August 2012, Hutchinson joined Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan deal.[10][11]

Loan to Nottingham Forest

Loan to Vitesse

On 2 September 2013, Hutchinson joined Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem on a season-long loan.[16] On 31 October he made his debut for the club in a league cup game against VV Noordwijk which Vitesse won 5–0.[17] Hutchinson made his league debut on 2 November in a 1–0 win over Ajax coming on as a late substitute.[18] On 2 January 2014 it was announced that he was recalled from his loan spell.[19]
