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, captaining the side, [6] 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]
