Playing career

Hutchinson came through the Academy at Burton Albion and said it was a "dream come true" to feature against Aston Villa – the club he supported as a boy – in a 2018–19 pre-season friendly, having previously made the substitute bench in an EFL Championship fixture with Derby County in April 2018.[2] Prior to that, he had signed his first professional contract with the "Brewers" in May 2018 following a successful loan spell at Northern Premier League Division One South side Romulus.[3] He made his debut under manager Nigel Clough in the English Football League on 11 August 2018, coming on as a substitute for Damien McCrory 17 minutes into a 3–1 defeat at Gillingham.[4] He made his first start in EFL League One on 1 September, in a 3–0 victory over AFC Wimbledon at Pirelli Stadium.[5]

On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would be one of 12 players leaving Burton at the end of the season.[6]

On 11 January 2022, Hutchinson signed a short term deal with Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.[7]

On 2 February 2023, Hutchinson signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers on loan until the end of June.[8] He scored the first goal of his senior career on 6 March 2023 when he opened the scoring in a 2–1 win at home to St Patrick's Athletic.[9] On 16 May 2023, Sligo Rovers announced the permanent signing of Hutchinson, once his loan expired on 1 July, with the left-back signing a contract until the end of the 2024 season.[10]
