Isaac Hutchinson (born 10 April 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Cheltenham Town, on loan from club Bristol Rovers.
Born in Eastbourne, Hutchinson attended Cavendish School.
His brother Jake is also a professional footballer.
Hutchinson began his career with Ratton Rangers. After eight years with Brighton & Hove Albion, Hutchinson joined Southend United in the summer of 2018 following a trial, turning down a move to Sparta Prague in the process. He made his senior debut on 4 September 2018 in the EFL Trophy, scoring a goal. He made his Football League debut on 15 December 2018.
Hutchinson signed a two-year deal with Derby County on 2 October 2020, joining the club's under-23 side. He made his senior debut for the club in an FA Cup defeat to Chorley on 9 January 2021, captaining the side, before joining League Two side Forest Green Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2020âÂÂ21 season two days later. He made 10 appearances on loan at Forest Green.
Hutchinson made his league debut for Derby as a substitute in a 1âÂÂ1 draw with Huddersfield Town in the opening match of the 2021âÂÂ22 season on 7 August 2021. He scored his first goal for the club in an EFL Cup tie against Salford City on 10 August 2021.
On 31 January 2022, Hutchinson joined League Two club Crawley Town on loan until the end of the season.
In June 2022 it was announced that he would join Walsall on 1 July 2022.
On 14 October 2023, Hutchinson scored a first career hat-trick in a 4âÂÂ1 victory over Gillingham, later describing it as the "best day" of his life. He was Walsall's Player of the Year for the 2023âÂÂ24 season.
On 24 June 2024, Hutchinson signed for Bristol Rovers on a three-year deal with the option for a further season, the League One club having triggered the compensation release clause in his contract. On 20 August 2024, his third appearance of the season, he scored his first goal for the club, opening the scoring from the edge of the box in a 3âÂÂ3 EFL Trophy Group Stage draw with Tottenham Hotspur U21. Having struggled for game time in the early months of the season, the replacement of manager Matt Taylor with Iñigo Calderón in December 2024 saw Hutchinson begin to feature more regularly.
On 1 September 2025, Hutchinson joined League Two club Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan. Following the move, Hutchinson and his family were subjected to abuse from a portion of the Bristol Rovers fanbase. On 6 September he made his debut for the club, scoring a free-kick just one minute into the match in a 1âÂÂ0 victory over Accrington Stanley.
Hutchinson impressed across the first-half of the season with Cheltenham, scoring seven goals in his first fourteen appearances. With his parent club struggling, ending 2025 just one point above the League Two relegation zone, new Bristol Rovers manager Steve Evans confirmed his intention to recall Hutchinson upon the opening of the January transfer window. However, Hutchinson stated that he wanted to remain with Cheltenham for the remainder of the season.
On 6 January 2026, he was officially recalled by his parent club. He returned on loan to Cheltenham Town in February 2026.
