Crewe Alexandra have confirmed the signing of full-back Reece Hutchinson from League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers.

Hutchinson, 25, joins for an undisclosed fee on a two-year deal.

After coming through the youth system at Birmingham, he made 56 appearances for Burton Albion before joining Sligo after a stint at Cheltenham Town in 2023.

He becomes Crewe’s third signing of the summer after striker Josh March and defender Phil Croker.

The left-sided player is known for his attacking threat, which he showcased during 86 games for Sligo, scoring six goals.
