Jonathan "Joey" Hutchinson (born 2 April 1982) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre back.

Career

[edit]

Born in Middlesbrough, Cleveland,[1] Hutchinson signed a professional contract with Birmingham City on 1 July 2000, having been a trainee in the club's youth system,[1] and was a member of the first-team squad for the 2000–01 season.[3] After Birmingham were promoted to the Premier League Hutchinson made his first appearance in the competition, starting in a defeat to Leeds United.[4]

He was told in May 2005 he would only be offered an extension to his Darlington contract if he could convince the club he was over his injury problems.[5] After being sent off and conceding a penalty in a game against Wrexham in October 2005, Hutchinson was to be punished by Darlington for comments he made to the referee.[6] Hutchinson missed the rest of the 2005–06 season with cruciate knee ligament damage.[7]

Hutchinson returned from two separate cruciate ligament injuries in June 2006.[8] Hutchinson was released by Darlington in February 2007 due to recurring injury problems.[9] He impressed whilst on trial with Hereford United during the 2007 pre-season,[10] but was not offered a contract as he lacked what manager Graham Turner wanted physically.[11] He eventually joined Conference National club York City on non-contract terms on 10 August 2007.[12] He was released by the club on 31 August, as he wanted to move closer to his family in the Midlands.[13] Since leaving York, he had a trial with Burton Albion.[14]

Hutchinson signed for Harrogate Town of the Conference North in July 2008,[15] but failed to make any appearances for the club.[16]

Personal life

[edit]

In June 2016, Hutchinson severed his spinal cord after falling into a swimming pool in Spain. This resulted in him being paralysed and needing to use a wheelchair.[17] His claim against Wayne Lineker, the owner of the Ibiza beach club, where the accident occurred moved to the High Court in January 2020.[18]
