Remeao Hutton leaves Gillingham after his contract was terminated and he joins fellow League Two side Chesterfield

Defender Remeao Hutton has signed for a new club after an agreement was made to terminate his contract at Gillingham.

The Gills say the decision was mutually agreed and ends a two-and-a-half-year spell at the club. He’s now joined Gillingham’s League Two rivals Chesterfield.

Hutton, 27, joined the Gills for an undisclosed fee from Swindon Town in January 2024 - the first signing for then manager Stephen Clemence - and became a regular in the side, making 115 appearances during his time at the club.

The Gills said: “We would like to place on record our thanks to Remeao for his services and we wish him well for the future.”

Following the move to his new club, Hutton said: “I can’t wait to get going. It’s been a few weeks now since I heard about the interest and obviously it’s taken a while, but I’m happy to get it over the line now.

“I know what the team is capable of. I know what they’ve done in the past few seasons; they’re always up and around it and hopefully we can get promoted together.”

Hutton’s time at the Gills didn’t get off to a great start after a bizarre video surfaced shortly after joining, stating he would be bringing “gay business, some racism,” and other things to the club.

The right-back arrived with an impressive assists record but was unable to replicate that form at Gillingham. Former assistant boss Richard Dobson stating how they were keen to improve his crossing ability.

Last year, he said: “He throws a lot of balls in the box but the next step for him in his game is to be that David Beckham-like cross where you put it on someone's head and say go on and hit the back of the net.”

Hutton was not involved in the Gills' first pre-season friendly, prompting speculation that he was set to leave the club.
