Remeao Andrew Hutton (born 28 September 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full back for {{English football updater|Gillingh}} club Gillingham.
Hutton spent several years in Walsall's academy before being released while still a schoolboy. He played for Sutton Coldfield Town's under-21 team, and joined Hednesford Town's academy as part of his college course. He made a few first-team appearances in the Northern Premier League, played in the Midland League while on loan at Walsall Wood, and attracted the attention of EFL Championship club Birmingham City.
After a lengthy trial, Hutton signed a one-year professional contract, which was twice extended. He spent the 2019–20 season on loan at Yeovil Town of the National League, where he was a first-team regular as they reached the play-offs. He made his Football League debut while on loan at League Two club Stevenage in 2020. He was released by Birmingham at the end of the 2020–21 season, spent the next season with Barrow, and joined a third League Two club, Swindon Town, in July 2022. He then transferred to another League Two club, Gillingham, in January 2024.

After an extended trial in the second half of the 2016–17 season which included four competitive matches for the under-23 team, Hutton signed a one-year professional contract with EFL Championship club Birmingham City.{{cite web |url=https://www.bcfc.com/news/archive/remeao-hutton-joins-blues-after-successful-trial |title=Remeao Hutton joins Blues after successful trial |publisher=Birmingham City F.C. |date=5 May 2017 |accessdate=3 September 2022}} Together with Charlie Lakin, Hutton was a member of the Birmingham delegation that visited their new partner club, Spanish third-tier side UE Cornellà; he trained with the first team, and declared himself open to a return on loan if that were possible.{{cite news |url=https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/birmingham-citys-remeao-hutton-reveals-13875592 |title=Birmingham City's Remeao Hutton reveals how he stopped Luis Suarez in his tracks |first=Brian |last=Dick |newspaper=Birmingham Mail |date=8 November 2017 |accessdate=24 August 2020}} He returned to Cornellà for a week,{{cite web |url=https://www.bcfc.com/news/archive/blues-under-23s-in-spanish-training-camp |title=Blues Under-23s in Spanish training camp |publisher=Birmingham City F.C. |date=7 March 2018 |accessdate=3 September 2022}} but otherwise remained with Birmingham for the rest of the season, playing regularly for the under-23s, and the club took up their one-year option on his contract.{{cite news |url=https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/three-new-deals-signed-birmingham-14693522 |title=Three new deals signed at Birmingham City as striker banned for spitting incident |first=Shane |last=Ireland |newspaper=Birmingham Mail |date=31 May 2018 |accessdate=24 August 2020}}
Hutton was in the first-team squad that trained in Austria and Germany in July 2018, but on his return, he broke a bone in his foot during a pre-season friendly and played no more football until the new year.{{cite web |url=https://www.bcfc.com/news/archive/injury-setback-for-remeao-hutton |title=Injury setback for Remeao Hutton |publisher=Birmingham City F.C. |date=24 July 2018 |accessdate=3 September 2022}}

==Yeovil Town loan==
Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Hutton trained with Northampton Town with a view to a loan, but no move ensued. Instead, he and team-mate Olly McCoy joined National League club Yeovil Town on loan until 2 January 2020.{{cite news |url=https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/sport/football/northampton-town/cobblers-might-need-sell-adding-squad-952037 |title=Cobblers might need to unload one or two players before manager Keith Curle adds to the 11 signings already made this summer |first=James |last=Heneghan |newspaper=Northampton Chronicle |date=25 July 2019 |accessdate=26 August 2020}}{{cite web |url=https://www.bcfc.com/news/archive/blues-duo-loaned-to-yeovil-town |title=Blues duo loaned to Yeovil Town |publisher=Birmingham City F.C. |date=24 August 2020 |accessdate=3 September 2022}} Hutton started in Yeovil's first three matches, and was then dropped to the bench to accommodate Myles Hippolyte for the visit to Ebbsfleet United. He replaced the injured Rhys Murphy after half an hour, and scored the second goal of a 3–1 win just after half-time when he "cut in from the left-flank before finding the bottom corner with a right-footed shot from {{convert|20|yards|m}}."{{cite news |url=https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/yeovil-town-reach-national-league-3208314 |title=Yeovil Town into National League play-off places with win at Ebbsfleet |first1=Chris |last1=Spittles |first2=Daniel |last2=Evans |website=Somerset Live |date=14 August 2019 |accessdate=24 August 2020}} He returned to the starting eleven for the next match, and continued as a regular for the first half of the season, playing on either side of the defence as well as creating goals for team-mates when he ventured forward.

Yeovil hit the woodwork three times, and came closest to scoring when Jimmy Smith's shot from Hutton's centre was adjudged not to have crossed the line, but Barnet won 2–0.{{cite news |url=https://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/latest-news/31118/report-national-league-play-off-eliminator-yeovil-town-0-barnet-2/ |title=Report: National League Play-Off Eliminator – Yeovil Town 0 Barnet 2 |first=David |last=Richardson |newspaper=The Non-League Football Paper |date=19 July 2020 |accessdate=27 August 2020}}
