==Career==
In his youth Hutton played with [[Oxford United Stars F.C.]] when they competed in the [[Derry and District League]]. He later played with [[Coleraine F.C.]], and at the age of 15, signed for [[Bradford City F.C.|Bradford City's]] youth training scheme. This saw Hutton move to Bradford for a number of Summer months between seasons while still under contract with Coleraine. The contract was effectively one that would have seen Hutton tied to Bradford for his entire playing career. However, he was always very keen to play for Derry City and the task of getting out of his insidious contract with Bradford City began. The threat of legal action and the resulting adverse publicity resulted in the English club relenting and when his contract with Coleraine ran out, he signed for his home-town club, Derry City, in 1991.
