[edit] Club career
He is one of the most highly-lauded prospects to emerge from the Gippsland Falcons youth setup, along with Manuel Gotis.
After recovering from a knee injury, Hutchinson has become a key player for the Central Coast Mariners, playing in central midfield with Mile Jedinak and Tom Pondeljak in Version 3 of the A-League. This form has lead him to be named one of the most influential players in the A-League[1] and more recently a call up to the Socceroos training squad.[2]

[edit] International career
Due to his Maltese descent (One-Quarter Maltese), he earned a call-up by coach Dušan Fitzel,[3] and he made his international debut for the Maltese national team in an exhibition match against the Czech Republic, where he was employed in centre midfield for the whole game.[4] On 10 June 2009, John Hutchinson played his first full competitive match for Malta in the 2010 World Cup qualifier against Sweden at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.
