Reece Christopher Hutchinson (born 14 April 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Crewe Alexandra.

Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Hutchinson came through the academy at Burton Albion and said it was a "dream come true" to feature against Aston Villa – the club he supported as a boy – in a 2018–19 pre-season friendly, having previously made the substitute bench in an EFL Championship fixture with Derby County in April 2018.[3] Prior to that, he had signed his first professional contract with the "Brewers" in May 2018 following a successful loan spell at Northern Premier League Division One South side Romulus.[4] He made his debut under manager Nigel Clough in the English Football League on 11 August 2018, coming on as a substitute for Damien McCrory 17 minutes into a 3–1 defeat at Gillingham.[5] He made his first start in EFL League One on 1 September, in a 3–0 victory over AFC Wimbledon at Pirelli Stadium.[6]

On 12 May 2021 it was announced that he would be one of 12 players leaving Burton at the end of the season.[7]

On 11 January 2022, Hutchinson signed a short-term deal with Cheltenham Town until the end of the season.[8]

On 2 February 2023, Hutchinson signed for League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers on loan until the end of June.[9] He scored the first goal of his senior career on 6 March 2023 when he opened the scoring in a 2–1 win at home to St Patrick's Athletic.[10] On 16 May 2023, Sligo Rovers announced the permanent signing of Hutchinson, once his loan expired on 1 July, with the left-back signing a contract until the end of the 2024 season.[11] He signed a new contract with the club ahead of the 2025 season, after playing every league game in 2024, scoring twice, before featuring in all of his side's first 21 league games of 2025, scoring three goals and assisting two, form that drew interest from EFL League Two club Crewe Alexandra ahead of the July transfer window opening.[12]

On 30 June 2025, it was announced that he had joined Crewe Alexandra after they met his release clause.[13] He made his debut in Crewe's 3–1 victory at Salford City on 2 August 2025,[14] and a week later scored on his home debut as Crewe beat Accrington Stanley F.C. 2–0.[15] He was subsequently nominated for EFL League Two Player of the Month for August 2025.[16]
