Hutchinson completes permanent transfer to Ipswich Town

Omari Hutchinson has left Chelsea and completed a permanent transfer to Ipswich Town.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan with Town and helped the club secure promotion to the Premier League.

He made 50 appearances in all competitions and ended the campaign with 11 goals and four assists.

After previous spells in our Academy, Hutchinson returned to the Blues in the summer of 2022 from Arsenal.

The young winger featured regularly for our Under-21s throughout his debut campaign and his development was recognised as he earned two caps for Jamaica.

Hutchinson also made his Chelsea debut in a Premier League fixture against Manchester City in January 2022 at Stamford Bridge. He then faced the same opposition three days later in the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium.

The young winger joined Ipswich last season to gain further first-team experience and enjoyed a stellar campaign in which he was named Championship Player of the Month for February and ended the season with Ipswich’s Young Player of the Year award.

We wish Omari well as he begins a new chapter in his career and thank him for all his efforts while with the Blues.
