COLCHESTER United teenager Jake Hutchinson hit a superb first-half hat-trick on his Hitchin Town return.

The 19-year-old striker rejoined the Pitching In Southern League Premier Central team for a second spell, after sealing a one-month loan move earlier this week.

And he marked the first appearance of his second spell with the Hertfordshire club with a magnificent treble in their 4-0 win at Stourbridge.

 

Hutchinson netted his first goal in the seventh minute and added another, in the 25th minute.

He wrapped up his treble 11 minutes later, to complete his hat-trick.

Josh Coldicott-Stevens added a fourth for Hitchin against the Glassboys, late on.

Hutchinson had previously enjoyed a productive loan spell at Hitchin from Colchester in November, 2020.

The U's academy player scored seven goals in 15 games, during his first stint at Top Field.

Hutchinson has also had loan spells at the likes of Brightlingsea Regent, Grays Athletic and Maldon & Tiptree.
