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 U7 Reds.

The U7 Reds have completed another impressive season in the BCFA league, again playing an age group up - having previously done so in 2021/22 season. The 2022/23 season brought plenty of highs for the boys, having been invited to play in festival football hosted by Chelsea FC, to being unbeaten in 3 summer tournaments!! And if that wasn’t enough they only lost 1 game all season!

The Hutton Reds team features, a Midfield Maestro, a no-nonsense centre back, A debutant hattrick hero, a shot stopping wall, their version of a attacking goal scoring Liverpool LB Andy Robbo and a lethal golden boot winning number 9! The boys are a great group of lads and have an unmatched bond on and off the pitch. Their manager Craig and Assistant Nik couldn’t be prouder of what the boys have achieved and we wish them all the best in their new challenge in the Echo league next season.
