BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Chelsea defender Sam Hutchinson has joined Sheffield Wednesday, the club's Twitter page has confirmed.Hutchinson announced his premature retirement from football in 2010 following a serious of knee operations, but, in a story broken by TalkChelsea, the player made an unlikely comeback in 2011 after twelve months of extensive physiotherapy work. He made his competitive return in 2012, coming on as a substitute in a 6-1 mauling of Queens Park Rangers. Yet further injury concerns hampered otherwise productive loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Vitesse, and despite a series of strong performances for Wednesday last season in a short-term loan deal, Chelsea took the decision not to renew the defender's contract.Hutchinson made six appearances for the Blues - including two starts - in his injury-hit spell, but it is for the admirable character he has displayed in making his comeback that he is to be so warmly regarded for.His best moment in a Chelsea shirt came in April 2010, when he supplied a raking cross from deep that Frank Lampard flicked in during a 7-0 thrashing of Stoke City: Everyone at TalkChelsea wishes Sam the very best of luck - and health - for the future, and that he, from this point onwards, enjoys a long and fruitful career, for there is no young man more deserving.Thank you, Sam, and good luck!

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Glad for him, it's a shame he couldn't break through here. Was well on course before that injury set him back, I'm sure he's grateful that he's just back in the game though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 It is a shame. Lovely guy. Incredible guts and determination. I wish, from the bottom of my heart, that he has a good bit of health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
