Career

Southend United

Hutchinson began his career with Ratton Rangers. [5] After eight years with Brighton & Hove Albion, Hutchinson joined Southend United in the summer of 2018 following a trial, [7] turning down a move to Sparta Prague in the process. [8] He made his senior debut on 4 September 2018 in the EFL Trophy, scoring a goal. [9] [10] He made his Football League debut on 15 December 2018. [9]

Derby County

Hutchinson signed a two-year deal with Derby County on 2 October 2020, joining the club's under-23 side. [11] He made his senior debut for the club in an FA Cup defeat to Chorley on 9 January 2021, before joining League Two side Forest Green Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season two days later. [12] He made 10 appearances on loan at Forest Green. [13]

Hutchinson made his league debut for Derby as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Huddersfield Town in the opening match of the 2021–22 season on 7 August 2021. [14] [15] He scored his first goal for the club in an EFL Cup tie against Salford City on 10 August 2021. [16]

On 31 January 2022, Hutchinson joined League Two club Crawley Town on loan until the end of the season. [15] [17]

Walsall

In June 2022 it was announced that he would join Walsall on 1 July 2022. [18]

On 14 October 2023, Hutchinson scored a first career hat-trick in a 4–1 victory over Gillingham, [19] later describing it as the "best day" of his life. [20] He was Walsall's Player of the Year for the 2023–24 season. [21]

Bristol Rovers

On 24 June 2024, Hutchinson signed for Bristol Rovers on a three-year deal with the option for a further season, the League One club having triggered the compensation release clause in his contract.
