Luton – The Low Down On The Mystery Man
Yesterday, as the Hatters took on Portsmouth in a pre-season friendly, at Kenilworth Road, a game that ended 1-1, there was a new face on the bench.
As soon as the team-sheets were released, questions were being asked about one Reece Hutchinson!
It transpired that Reece, just 21-years-of-age, is a free agent who is currently on trial with Luton Town FC.
But what do we know about young Reece?
Aside from being 21-years-of-age, Reece is predominantly a left-back, at 5 feet 8 inches, he is not the tallest of players but size, as we know, does not always matter, after all Ashley Cole, the best left-back I have ever seen, was no giant.
Born in Birmingham, on 14-April-2000, Reece is a product of the Burton Albion Youth Academy who gained valuable experience playing in the Northern Premier League Division One South side, Romulus.
He made his debut for Burton Albion against Gillingham and has made a total of 43 league games for the club.
However, Reece, along with 11 other players, was released by Burton at the end of last season.
Whether Reece can do enough during his trial, with Luton, to be offered a contract remains to be seen, but I am sure you will join me in wishing the lad well in his quest to become a Hatter.
