Club career

Early career

Born in Huyton, Merseyside, ^[5] Tutte began his youth career at Manchester City in 1999, where he came through the ranks and starred for the club's FA Youth Cup team. On 9 July 2010, Tutte signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club for the following year ^[6] at which time the club announced he would be loaned out for the next season in order to provide him with first-team experience.^{[ citation needed ]}

Loan spells

Loaned out to Rochdale of League One, he made his debut on 21 August 2010 coming on as a substitute for Joe Thompson in a League One game against Colchester United. On 28 August 2010 in a match against Brentford which Rochdale won 3–1, Tutte provided assists for Anthony Elding and Jason Kennedy. Tutte made his last appearance for the club as a substitute for Jason Kennedy in a 1–0 loss against Exeter City after which he was recalled by his parent club having made nine appearances for Rochdale.^{[ citation needed ]}

Having been recalled, ^[7] Tutte made an appearance for the reserves where he played 90 minutes against their city rivals Manchester United in a 1–1 draw. ^[8]

After the game, he went out on loan to Shrewsbury Town dropping down to League Two on 25 November 2010; the deadline date for loans and free transfers. ^[9] Following the move, Tutte stated he wanted to use his time at Shrewsbury to impress his parent club. ^[10] After not being used for a month, Tutte made his debut on 1 January 2011 against Burton Albion in a 0–0 draw where he played 90 minutes, playing again two days later on 3 January 2011 in a 1-0 loss to Crewe Alexandra, his last appearance before returning to his parent club.^{[ citation needed ]}

After returning to his parent club, on 1 February 2011 Tutte was sent out on loan to Yeovil Town until the end of the season . ^[11] On 15 February 2011, Tutte made his debut for the club in a 2–0 loss to Peterborough United playing 90 minutes. At Yeovil, Tutte became a regular starter scoring his first professional league goal on 25 April 2011, in a 2–2 draw against Peterborough, scoring his second goal and providing an assist for Andy Welsh in a 4–2 win over Colchester Unitedon 30 April 2011. His last appearance for Yeovil was against Carlisle United in a 2–0 win when he came on as a substitute for Ed Upson. At the end of the season, Yeovil Town expected to resign Tutte ahead of the 2011–12 season, with manager Terry Skiverton describing his performance over his loan period as "outstanding". ^[12] The move collapsed, following talks with his agent. ^[13]

Rochdale

At the end of the 2010–11 season he was released by Manchester City at the expiration of his contract. ^[14] Following his release, four teams battled for his signature; his three previous loan clubs and Scunthorpe United, Rochdale winning when, on 24 June 2011, he signed a two-year deal, joining along with Simon Hackney . ^[15] His decision to move to Rochdale was influenced by the chance to work with new Manager Steve Eyre following their time together at Manchester City. ^[16] Tutte published his reasons for signing on the club website; "I'm made up to be coming back at Spotland and back working with Steve, I cannot wait to meet the rest of the lads and get back in training. I really enjoyed my loan spell here, it was a very good learning experience for me and the club is certainly moving in the right direction and I would love to be a part of the team that goes one better than last season. Steve knows how to get the best out of me, there will be plenty of competition for places and that means you stay on top of your game. When you get the opportunity you have to be ready to take it and I'll be working hard to earn my place in the team."

Tutte made his second debut for the club on 6 August 2011, in a 2–0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday before coming off for Chris O'Grady. On 10 September 2011, he provided an assist for Ashley Grimes to score an opener in a 4–2 win over Bury and on 6 March 2012, he provided an assist for Jason Kennedy to score the only goal in a match against Carlisle which they lost 2–1. On 10 March 2012, Tutte scored his first goal for the club with a strike in a 2–2 draw against Huddersfield Town, a goal which was the Goal of the Season at Rochdale's end-of-season awards. ^[17] By the end of the season he had made 40 appearances, scoring once,^{[ citation needed ]} but could not save the club and they were relegated after losing 2–1 against Chesterfield, manager Eyre being sacked six months into the season with the club in 22nd place in the league.

Following the 2011–12 season, the club revealed Tutte would remain under contract for the next season and extended his contract to two years. ^{[18] [19]}

Tutte scored his first goal of the season 2012–13 in the first round of the League Cup, in a 4–3 loss against Barnsley. while in the league, he scored twice in his first four appearances.

Towards the end of the season, Tutte suffered a knee injury putting him out for the rest of the season. ^[22] By the end of the season, Tutte would make thirty appearances and score seven resulting in a new two-year deal in ^[23] in late April. ^[24]
