Lincoln youngster Graham Hutchison has joined Birmingham, while Paul Musselwhite has extended his contract.
League Two side proud to see Hutchison join Premier League club
Lincoln City youngster Graham Hutchison has joined Birmingham City, while veteran goalkeeper Paul Musselwhite has extended his playing contract at Sincil Bank.
Hutchison has recently been training with Birmingham following a spell at Fulham and has done enough to earn a move to St Andrews.
The Premier League club will take over his scholarship and Lincoln are happy to see another teenager leave for a bigger stage.
Head of youth Tom Spall told the club's
official website: "Of course, I would have loved to have seen him play in our first team, but for Lincoln City to sell a player to a Premier League team is fantastic, not only for us as a club but also for Graham and his future aspirations.
"Since I've been here, Graham is the fourth youth product we've sold to either a Premier League or Championship club and it's a massive lift for the youth department and a big pat on the back for the Centre's coaches."
Meanwhile, Lincoln goalkeeping coach Musselwhite has extended his playing contract until the summer of 2011.
The 41-year-old was brought to Sincil Bank by former manager Peter Jackson last July and, in addition to his coaching role, Musselwhite also acts as back-up to first-team keeper Rob Burch.
Musselwhite has made more than 700 league appearances in a career that has included spells at Port Vale, Hull and Scunthorpe.
