Loan to Vitesse
On 2 September 2013, Hutchinson joined Dutch club Vitesse on a season-long loan.[15] On 31 October he made his debut for the club in a league cup game against VV Noordwijk which Vitesse won 5-0.[16] Hutchinson made his league debut on 2 November in a 1-0 win over Ajax coming on as a late substitute.[17] On 2 January 2014 it was announced that he was recalled from his loan spell.[18]International career
Hutchinson played for England at under-18 and under-19 youth international level; he missed the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship tournament through injury, and would have been the country's captain.[19] Hutchinson was called up to the England under-21 squad on 1 October 2009 for the European Championship qualifier against Macedonia,[20] but withdrew injured.
