Hutton grew up in Bethlehem, New York, the daughter of Jennifer and Brett Hutton, and has two brothers.[3][4] She began playing soccer at age four. When she was nine, she joined Alleycats Soccer Club, playing up several age groups and training with boys' teams. She later moved to ECNL club World Class FC, earning two-time All-American honors.[5][6]
Hutton starred on the varsity girls' team at Bethlehem High School while in middle school. In seventh grade, aged 12, she helped lead the team to the 2018 state title game and earned all-state honors. The next year, she scored a school-record 36 goals and made 19 assists, leading the team to defend its Section 2 title and being named the New York state player of the year for 2019. She played less for the team while in high school due to the COVID-19 pandemic and youth national team call-ups.[3][7] In 2022, as a junior, she joined the Bethlehem varsity boys' team, starting at forward and scoring 4 goals with 1 assist in 14 games.[7][8] She graduated from high school one year early in 2023.[4]
Club career
Following her high school graduation, Hutton trained with NWSL teams North Carolina Courage and NJ/NY Gotham FC. Though she was committed to play college soccer at the University of North Carolina, the New Jersey club raised the idea of her turning professional instead.[4][9] She considered her options for several months and eventually tried out with the Kansas City Current, where she signed a three-year deal through the NWSL's Under-18 Entry Mechanism on December 14, 2023.[9][10]
Hutton made her professional debut on the opening matchday on March 18, 2024, playing the full 90 minutes in a 5–4 win against the Portland Thorns, as the Current inaugurated the newly built CPKC Stadium.[11] She impressed quickly as she was a critical part of head coach Vlatko Andonovski's midfield.[12] She made her first professional assist on May 25, setting up Elizabeth Ball, in a 1–0 win at the Utah Royals.[13] On August 1, she scored her first professional goal, shooting from the edge of the box, to conclude a 4–1 win against Tigres in the Summer Cup group stage.[14]
Hutton played in 22 regular-season games in 2024, starting 19, as the Current placed fourth in the standings. Despite being away for a month at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, she ranked fourth on the team with over 1,600 minutes played.[15][16] In the playoffs, she started both games as the Current won 1–0 against the North Carolina Courage in the quarterfinals, then lost 3–2 to the Orlando Pride in the semifinals.[17] She was one of three players nominated for NWSL Rookie of the Year, losing to Croix Bethune.[18]
Hutton made 25 appearances, starting 22, and played over 1,800 minutes in 2025, helping the Current win the NWSL Shield with the best record in the league.[19] The team set multiple NWSL records including most points, most wins, and fewest goals allowed in a season.[20] Her close friend Ally Sentnor joined the Current midseason in a record intraleague trade.[21] In the playoffs, Hutton played the entire extra-time match as the Current were upset 2–1 by Gotham FC in the quarterfinals.[22] She was one of five finalists for NWSL Midfielder of the Year, along with teammate Debinha, as players from the Current made up one-third of all NWSL award nominees.[23] Hutton was named to the 2025 NWSL Best XI First Team at the NWSL Awards.[24]
Hutton was called up by Emma Hayes into Futures Camp, practicing alongside the senior national team, in January 2025.[26] She received her first call-up to the senior team for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup in February.[27] She made her senior international debut on February 23, starting against Australia in the SheBelieves Cup. In the game, her through-ball to Ally Sentnor led to a goal scored by Michelle Cooper, the USWNT's second in the 2–1 victory.[28] On July 2, Hutton scored her first senior international goal in her sixth appearance, scoring a header from Rose Lavelle's free kick, in a 3–0 friendly win over Canada.[29]
