Hutton FC - Our Pathway

A Pathway is vital at any level of football and we have made it our priority over the last few years to ensure that we improve ours. We want our youth players to progress through the age groups and one day play for our 1st team or one of our other senior sides.

My role at the club is to ensure that this takes place. In this process we identify what level of players we have at the club and highlight the players who could potentially make that step up to senior football For this to happen I attend a lot of training sessions at all age groups, as well as matches. With over 70 teams at the club, this isn’t an easy task!

Last season our pathway had huge success, with two 16-year-olds making their debut for the first team, Freddie Miller and Henry Silvester both progressed through our youth set up and played for our EJA side at u15 (20/21 season) and u16 (21/22 season). From there they progressed fully into our senior set up with the occasional appearance for our EJA U18 side Last season, both players were part our the 1st teams title winning squad which were promoted to the Thurlow Nunn.

We also had another seven players who progressed into our senior section. Ryan Quinan, Harrison Connor, Nelson Hakeem, Riley Hyams, Jack Mckinnon, Pranav Ramanathan and Jack Thomas all made their debut last season at the age of 16 and 17

On top of that, we were very proud to see our U16 EJA side managed by Jamie Bowler and Greig Mclachlan have a very strong season, narrowly losing in the Essex Cup Final, which they led for the majority of the game and the Plate cup final. This team have been progressing extremely well and had some standout performers, with Jaden Tucker winning the 'Players player' and 'Parents player' award. Max Brunger won the 'managers player' award and Callum Cathline winning the golden boot. We have high hopes for this team and we have no doubt that some of these players will be making their senior debuts very soon.

Today’s Mascots are our Hutton U12 Blacks.

We have been a team since the boys were U9. They are a great bunch of lads who are improving each day. They love the game, they come up with some great celebrations together when they score, and enjoy each others company - which has turned into some good friendships.

They are most certainly the loudest when it comes to the three cheers at the end of the game - win, lose or draw. Credit to all of them for that.

We have had a lot of new players join our team along the way, some of whom only started playing football last year, so for us to reach the semi-final of our division cup and come third in our league was a great achievement!
