'He suits our style of play' - attacking full-back joins Chesterfield
Remeao Hutton has joined the list of new summer arrivals at Chesterfield.
A right-back who likes to push on, he signs after having his contract at Gillingham terminated by mutual consent.
He’s had regular football there, playing 48 times last season and 47 the season before that.
Assistant manager Danny Webb described the 27-year-old as “an attacking full-back who suits our style of play.”
He added: “He’ll add great energy levels and quality into the squad and bolsters our already strong defensive options.”
It’s a permanent contract for Hutton, who played in both League Two matches against Chesterfield last season.
He has played in nearly 250 league matches in a career including spells at Swindon and Stevenage.
“I know what the team here is capable of and I know what they’ve done in the past few seasons,” he said.
"They’re always up and around it and hopefully we can get promoted together.”
Hutton has promised SMH regulars “athleticism and lots of crosses in the box”.
“When I’ve played here against Chesterfield in the past, they’re always hard games and there are lots of supporters here as well, so you can feel the energy,” he added.
The club’s other new signings are the defensive trio of Junior Eccleston, Alfie Pond and Jack Simpson, midfielder George McEachran and attackers Ruel Sitiriou and Josh Koroma.
Hutton and his new team-mates have a private friendly against Boston United tomorrow.
