Hutton grew up in Bethlehem, New York, the daughter of Jennifer and Brett Hutton. She joined the Bethlehem High School varsity girls' soccer team as a seventh grader in 2018, helping her team reach the state final and earning all-state honors at age 12. The next year, she scored a school-record 36 goals and added 19 assists as an eighth grader in 2019, leading her team to defend its Section 2 title and being named the New York state player of the year at age 13. She played less for her school the following two seasons, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and her club and national team duties, yet still recorded twelve goals and nine assists in eight appearances.[3][4] Hutton joined the Bethlehem varsity boys' team as a junior in 2022, starting at forward and contributing four goals and one assist in 14 games.[4][5] She played at club level for the Albany Alleycats and World Class FC, earning ECNL All-American honors in 2021–22 and 2022–23.[6][7]
Hutton earned a starting position on the Current from the opening matchday against the Portland Thorns on March 18, 2024.[11] She started all but one game in the first half of the season; she ranked second in the NWSL in tackles won in that period and was considered one of the best-performing teenagers in the league.[12][13] She contributed her first professional assist in a 1–0 win at the Utah Royals on May 25.[14] She scored her first professional goal in a 4–1 Summer Cup win against Tigres on August 1.[15]
A defensive midfielder, Hutton has excellent vision, physical defensive ability, and technical skill.[13][17] She often gets out of pressure with flashy dribbles and creates many scoring opportunities for her defensive position.[13] She has said she looks for inspiration to midfielders Sergio Busquets, Andrés Iniesta, and Kevin De Bruyne, though her favorite player as a kid was Ronaldinho.[13]
