Shaun Hutchinson says he cannot wait to put on the Millwall shirt after agreeing a two-year deal with the League One club.

The defender will join the Lions on July 1 following the expiration of his contract with Fulham.

The 25-year-old has become Millwall’s second summer signing after the arrival of Southend winger David Worrall.

Hutchinson said: “I'm really happy to be here. I met up with Neil Harris last week and he really sold the club to me.

“The manager has been working very hard to get me in and that is a nice thing to know. Coming to work at a place where you are so wanted is a great feeling.

“I can't wait to get going and am looking forward to putting on the Millwall shirt.”

Harris, 38, revealed Hutchinson was a player he has followed closely over the years and says the former Motherwell star will add competition to the Millwall defence.

“Shaun is a player that as a club we have been aware of for quite a period of time,” he said.

“We tracked him diligently when he was at Motherwell and when he was moving down south we bid for him.

“We monitored him last season knowing that he was coming out of contract.

“He is a no-nonsense defender who likes to head it in both boxes and is very aggressive in his approach.

“Shaun adds competition to a very solid backline. He is a real winner with a lot to prove.”
