Two‑year gamble: Doncaster secure 20‑goal midfielder Isaac Hutchinson

Doncaster Rovers have secured Isaac Hutchinson on a two‑year contract, with the fee undisclosed. The 26‑year‑old midfielder arrives after scoring 20 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions for Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham Town last season in English football as a prolific attacker.

The 20‑goal haul across all competitions underscores Hutchinson’s attacking prowess.

He spent the majority of the campaign on loan at Cheltenham Town, where he netted 15 goals in 34 League Two outings, demonstrating his consistent scoring ability.

Hutchinson, a former Derby County and Walsall player, brings experience from earlier spells in English football to Doncaster.

His arrival marks Doncaster’s eighth signing of the summer transfer window, highlighting the club’s active recruitment.

Manager Grant McCann said, “Quite a few clubs were after him, and the fact that he chose us gives us great reassurance that he wants to come here and he wants to make his mark.”

While the transfer fee remains undisclosed, the competition for Hutchinson’s signature shows strong market demand for proven goal‑scoring midfielders in the lower leagues.
