Sam Hutchinson joined Chelsea as child and played for the Blues at every level from U9 to the first team. A series of knee injuries severely derailed his career, and Hutchinson even retired from football for the 2010/11 season at age 21. He returned the following season and appeared twice for Chelsea in 2011/12.
After loans to Nottingham Forest, Vitesse Arnhem and Sheffield Wednesday, Hutchinson signed a permanent contract with Sheffield Wednesday in 2014. He made 32 appearances for the Championship side last season, nearly half of his total throughout his professional career..
