McKenna: Hutchinson Has Made Great Strides - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Kieran McKenna says Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month for February, Omari Hutchinson, has made great strides in many areas of his game during his season-loan loan with the Blues.

It was announced that he on-loan Chelsea man had carried off the gong earlier today and the Blues manager says it’s well deserved with the 20-year-old having made great progress since the start of the season.

"He certainly has,” he said. "It's been great for us to see that journey and to try and help that journey along the way, and I know that he's very appreciative of all the help that he's had from everyone here.

"He's having a very strong season, especially for someone in their first season of men's football.

"He's come on in great strides in many different areas, but he's also very grounded and very humble.

"He knows he's only at the very start of his career and he's got aspirations and he wants to continue to improve much further from where he is now.

"I'm sure if he shows the same attitude and mindset that he has done up to this point that he'll continue to do so.”

Hutchinson has so far made 16 starts and 24 sub appearances, scoring six goals.
