Career

Born in Middlesbrough, Cleveland, [1] Hutchinson signed a professional contract with Birmingham City on 1 July 2000, having been a trainee in the club's youth system, [1] and was a member of the first-team squad for the 2000–01 season. [3] After Birmingham were promoted to the Premier League Hutchinson made his first appearance in the competition, starting in a defeat to Leeds United. [4]

He was told in May 2005 he would only be offered an extension to his Darlington contract if he could convince the club he was over his injury problems. [5] After being sent off and conceding a penalty in a game against Wrexham in October 2005, Hutchinson was to be punished by Darlington for comments he made to the referee. [6] Hutchinson missed the rest of the 2005–06 season with cruciate knee ligament damage. [7]

Hutchinson returned from two separate cruciate ligament injuries in June 2006. [8] Hutchinson was released by Darlington in February 2007 due to recurring injury problems. [9] He impressed whilst on trial with Hereford United during the 2007 pre-season, [10] but was not offered a contract as he lacked what manager Graham Turner wanted physically. [11] He eventually joined Conference National club York City on non-contract terms on 10 August 2007. [12] He was released by the club on 31 August, as he wanted to move closer to his family in the Midlands. [13] Since leaving York, he had a trial with Burton Albion. [14]

Hutchinson signed for Harrogate Town of the Conference North in July 2008, [15] but failed to make any appearances for the club. [16]

Personal life

In June 2016, Hutchinson severed his spinal cord after falling into a swimming pool in Spain. This resulted in him being paralysed and needing to use a wheelchair. [17] His claim against Wayne Lineker, the owner of the Ibiza beach club, where the accident occurred moved to the High Court in January 2020. [18]
