Capped by England at U-18 and U-19 level, she played over 60 times and scored ten goals for Villa, winning the Championship with them and also later when at Bristol City..
Hutton told charltonafc.com: “I’m buzzing to get started. The club is heading in a great direction and has ambition. They have finished so high in the league the last few seasons.”
On her new manager, Karen Hills, she commented: “The style of play that Karen wants to play is aggressive and front footed which is exciting. I can’t wait to be a part of a team that has potential to win the league this season.”
Hutton was swiftly joined at the Addicks by another former Blades defender, Charlotte Newsham.
The 24-year-old also signed a one-year deal, saying: “I’m delighted to have signed with this club and I’m excited for the season to start.
