Andrew William Tutte (born 21 September 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Bolton Wanderers, where he is also assistant coach of the club's B team. He has also played in the English Football League for Rochdale, Shrewsbury Town, Yeovil Town, Bury, and Morecambe.

Club career

Early career

Born in Huyton, Merseyside,[4] Tutte began his youth career at Manchester City in 1999, where he came through the ranks and starred for the club's FA Youth Cup team. On 9 July 2010, Tutte signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club for the following year[5] at which time the club announced he would be loaned out for the next season in order to provide him with first-team experience.

Loan spells

Loaned out to Rochdale of League One, he made his debut on 21 August 2010 coming on as a substitute for Joe Thompson in a League One game against Colchester United. On 28 August 2010 in a match against Brentford which Rochdale won 3–1, Tutte provided assists for Anthony Elding and Jason Kennedy. Tutte made his last appearance for the club as a substitute for Jason Kennedy in a 1–0 loss against Exeter City after which he was recalled by his parent club having made nine appearances for Rochdale.

Having been recalled,[6] Tutte made an appearance for the reserves where he played 90 minutes against their city rivals Manchester United in a 1–1 draw.[7]

After the game, he went out on loan to Shrewsbury Town dropping down to League Two on 25 November 2010; the deadline date for loans and free transfers.[8] Following the move, Tutte stated he wanted to use his time at Shrewsbury to impress his parent club.[9] After not being used for a month, Tutte made his debut on 1 January 2011 against Burton Albion in a 0–0 draw where he played 90 minutes, playing again two days later on 3 January 2011 in a 1-0 loss to Crewe Alexandra, his last appearance before returning to his parent club.

After returning to his parent club, on 1 February 2011 Tutte was sent out on loan to Yeovil Town until the end of the season .[10] On 15 February 2011, Tutte made his debut for the club in a 2–0 loss to Peterborough United playing 90 minutes. At Yeovil, Tutte became a regular starter scoring his first professional league goal on 25 April 2011, in a 2–2 draw against Peterborough, scoring his second goal and providing an assist for Andy Welsh in a 4–2 win over Colchester Unitedon 30 April 2011. His last appearance for Yoevil was against Carlisle United in a 2–0 win when he came on as a substitute for Ed Upson. At the end of the season, Yeovil Town expected to resign Tutte ahead of the 2011–12 season, with manager Terry Skiverton describing his performance over his loan period as "outstanding".[11] The move collapsed, following talks with his agent.[12]

Rochdale

At the end of the 2010–11 season he was released by Manchester City at the expiration of his contract.[13] Following his release, four teams battled for his signature; his three previous loan clubs and Scunthorpe United, Rochdale winning when, on 24 June 2011, he signed a two-year deal, joining along with Simon Hackney .[14] His decision to move to Rochdale was influenced by the chance to work with new Manager Steve Eyre following their time together at Manchester City.[15] Tutte published his reasons for signing on the club website; "I'm made up to be coming back at Spotland and back working with Steve, I cannot wait to meet the rest of the lads and get back in training. I really enjoyed my loan spell here, it was a very good learning experience for me and the club is certainly moving in the right direction and I would love to be a part of the team that goes one better than last season. Steve knows how to get the best out of me, there will be plenty of competition for places and that means you stay on top of your game. When you get the opportunity you have to be ready to take it and I'll be working hard to earn my place in the team."

Tutte made his second debut for the club on 6 August 2011, in a 2–0 loss against Sheffield Wednesday before coming off for Chris O'Grady. On 10 September 2011, he provided an assist for Ashley Grimes to score an opener in a 4–2 win over Bury and on 6 March 2012, he provided an assist for Jason Kennedy to score the only goal in a match against Carlisle which they lost 2–1. On 10 March 2012, Tutte scored his first goal for the club with a strike in a 2–2 draw against Huddersfield Town, a goal which was the Goal of the Season at Rochdale's end-of-season awards.[16] By the end of the season he had made 40 appearances, scoring once, but could not save the club and they were relegated after losing 2–1 against Chesterfield, manager Eyre being sacked six months into the season with the club in 22nd place in the league.

Following the 2011–12 season, the club revealed Tutte would remain under contract for the next season and extended his contract to two years.[17] [18]

Tutte scored his first goal of the season 2012–13 in the first round of the League Cup, in a 4–3 loss against Barnsley. while in the league, he scored twice in his first four appearances. In October 2012, Tutte was nominated for September's Player of the Month award in League Two[19] but would lose to Port Vale's Tom Pope.[20] Tutte continued to be a regular in the first team despite a change in management with Keith Hill returning as Manager. Towards the end of the season, Tutte suffered a knee injury putting him out for the rest of the season.[21] By the end of the season, Tutte would make thirty appearances and score seven resulting in a new two-year deal in [22] in late April.[23]

In the 2013–14 season, Tutte started the season well scoring in a 2–2 draw against Chesterfield on 17 August 2013[24] and another on 28 November 2013, in a 3–1 win over Exeter City.[25] However, his first team opportunities were limited under Manager Hill[26] and he was released by the club on 23 January 2014.[27]

Bury

Tutte joined Bury on a free transfer on 24 January 2014[28] and made his debut on 1 February 2014, playing 90 minutes in a 1–0 win over Wycombe Wanderers.[29] Tutte scored his first goal for the club on 18 April 2014, in a 4–0 win over Plymouth Argyle.[30] At the end of the season, in which Tutte had become a first team regular, he had his contract extended when the club took up an option to extend his contract to the end of the 2014-15 season.[31]

In his second season at Bury, Tutte continued to be a regular in the first-team under the management of David Flitcroft, scoring his first goal of the season in a FA Cup first round 3–1 win over Hemel Hempstead Town on 8 November 2014.[32] Tutte then scored two goals in two games, in a 2–2 draw against York City on 20 December 2014[33] and in a 3–2 win over Northampton Town on 26 December 2014.[34] Tutte scored his first goal in two months on 21 February 2015, in a 1–0 win over Hartlepool United.[35] Two days after scoring against Hartlepool United, Tutte signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him under contract until 2017.[36] Manager Flitcroft expressed satisfaction at Tutte's decision to sign saying he believed the player would help make Bury a better team.[37] He was released by Bury at the end of the 2017–18 season.[38]

Morecambe

Following his release by relegated Bury, Tutte signed for fellow League Two club Morecambe on 29 June 2018 on a two-year contract.[39] Tutte was made available to find a new club in January 2020 due to limited first-team opportunities[40] and was released in June 2020.[41]

Bolton Wanderers

On 3 September 2020 Tutte signed for newly-relegated League Two team Bolton Wanderers on a one-year contract after a successful trial and after having turned down League One team Accrington Stanley. Assigned the number 18 shirt,[42] [43] he made his debut on 12 September, coming on as a late substitute for Tom White in a 0–1 home defeat against Forest Green Rovers in Bolton's first EFL League Two match of the 2020–21 season.[44] On 28 May 2021, he signed a new one-year contract[45] but only played once in the 2021–22 season having picked up a season-ending injury whilst playing for the reserves in September 2021.[46] On 3 May 2022, the club confirmed he would be released at the end of his contract.[47] On 14 June 2022, it was announced he would remain at the club as a player/coach for Bolton's B team.[48] This continued into a second season, with Tutte receiving praise in his work heling to develop players whilst playing alongside them.[49] A year later, it was extended for a third season.[50]
