James Ernest Hutchinson (8 March 1884 – 20 October 1961) was an English international rugby union player.
Hutchinson was born in Stockton-on-Tees and grew up on a farm in Bamburgh, which had been occupied by his ancestors for many years. He attended Barnard Castle School.[1]
A speedy wing three–quarter, Hutchinson played his rugby for Durham City and was capped once for England, appearing on the right wing in a match against Ireland at Leicester in 1906.[2][3]
Hutchinson retired from rugby due to an ankle injury at age 22. He farmed in New Zealand for several years prior to World War I and later took over the family farm when his brother Jack died.[1]
