Career
Rutherford was born in North Shields. He started his career in the youth team of Hartlepool United on a two-year scholarship in the summer of 2010.[2] In April 2012, Rutherford was offered his first professional contract.[3] On 14 April 2012, he made his professional debut in a 2–1 defeat to Chesterfield, coming on as a late substitute for Gary Liddle.[4]
Rutherford then signed a short-term deal in the summer of 2012,[5] which was later extended in early January 2013.[6] He scored his first ever professional goal after only being on the pitch for 90 seconds in a 3-1 away win against Portsmouth on 26 January 2013.[7] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Rutherford was one of four players released by Hartlepool.[8]
Rutherford signed for Dover Athletic in October 2014.[9]
On 2 February 2015, Rutherford signed for Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic.[10]
