Playing career

Clutton joined Burslem Port Vale in the summer of 1889.[1] His appearances were rare until September 1891, when he broke into the first team at the Athletic Ground.[1] He was a member of the side that shared the North Staffordshire Staffordshire Charity Challenge Cup in 1891 and won the Staffordshire Challenge Cup in 1892.[1] He featured in the 1892–93 campaign, in what was Vale's first season in the Second Division of the Football League.[1] He featured nine times in the 1893–94 campaign, though his career effectively ended when he broke a leg in October 1893.[1]
