DORCHESTER Town defender Harry Hutchinson has sealed a month-long loan to WInchester City. 

The former Poole Town left-back was signed for the Magpies in the summer, but has been on the periphery of first team action this season. 

With that in mind, Magpies boss Tom Killick has decided that a short-term loan will help give the player some much needed minutes on the pitch.

He said: "Harry is going on loan to Winchester for a month as he has not had a lot of game time. 

"It was very much a joint decision with me and Harry. 

"We discussed that he had limited game time and as things stand, we did not think he would get many opportunities in the short term.

"So, we both felt it would be good to get some decent game time and put a smile back on his face. He deserves that and is still very much part of  our plans.

"We want him to play, he is too good not to, so it made sense on both sides."

Hutchinson should be available for  Winchester's trip to Tavistock in the FA Trophy tomorrow afternoon.
