James 5,314 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of defender Sam Hutchinson on a season-long loan deal.<br /><br />The 23-year-old re-signed for the Blues last season, just 16 months after retiring because of a knee injury.<br />"He comes with a tremendous reputation from Chelsea's hierarchy," boss Sean O'Driscoll told BBC Radio Nottingham.<br />"I saw him last season and he was excellent. He has good pedigree and can play right-back or right centre-half."<br /><br />O'Driscoll added: "That gives us competition on that side and we are looking for someone to come in on the left-hand side to do a similar job."<br /><br />Hutchinson made his debut in May 2007 but has only made a total of six first-team appearances because of his knee problems.<br />O'Driscoll said: "He's a bit John Terry-esque - they see him like that. He's been at Chelsea all his career and he had an injury which forced his retirement but he seems to have got over it."<br /><br />Source: BBCSport<br /><br />Click here to view the article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
