Ex-Chelsea defender Hutchison happy over Sheffield Wednesday move

Former Chelsea defender Sam Hutchison is excited about his move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Wednesday asked to take him on loan last season and when the opportunity came in May to join on a permanent deal, he didn't think twice.

"It's a huge club with a great fanbase. They were good to ask for me last year when maybe others wouldn't and I wanted to repay that faith. I had interest from Premier League clubs but the manager Stuart Gray was a huge factor for me.

"He lets me judge my body. It's about managing your situation. He has done the same with Chris Kirkland. Our responsibility is to be fit enough to play and he trusts us.

"I train every day more or less. I have the odd day off and may do swimming instead but he understands the type of player I am. Now I seem to have the right balance, I've no niggles, touch wood."
