Heart of Midlothian Forward Hutchison Signs with Durham on Permanent Deal
Heart of Midlothian forward Bayley Hutchison has signed with Durham on a permanent deal, bringing her attacking prowess to the Wildcats' squad. The 22-year-old joins Durham fresh from winning the Scottish Women’s Premier League title with Heart of Midlothian last season.
Why it matters for Heart of Midlothian
Hutchison's departure from Heart of Midlothian marks a significant loss for the Jambos, who are looking to make an impact in the new season. The forward netted 27 goals for Heart of Midlothian across her two campaigns with the club, and her versatility will be missed in the Heart of Midlothian attack.
What comes next?
As Hutchison settles into her new role at Durham, she will be looking to make an immediate impact in the Barclays WSL2. With her ability to lead the front-line, drop deep, and get in behind the opposition defence, Hutchison will be a valuable asset to the Wildcats' squad.
Hutchison is Durham's sixth signing of the summer transfer window, and she will now participate in the Wildcats' final pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign. The player's experience in the Scottish Women’s Premier League will be invaluable as Durham look to make an impact in the Barclays WSL2.
