Lincoln City youngster Graham Hutchison has joined Premier League Fulham on a month's trial.

The central defender, who was recently called up to Scotland's Under-17 squad, made his reserve team debut for the Imps in October.

Lincoln manager Chris Sutton told BBC Lincolnshire: "He's a good young player and it's a good opportunity.

"There's nothing set in stone but he'll go down for a few weeks, they can have at him and he can have a look at them."

Since Sutton took charge at Sincil Bank he has signed defenders Adam Watts and Joe Anderson on permanent deals from Fulham, and taken the Cottagers' midfielder Matt Saunders and striker Michael Uwezu on loan.

Fulham have followed in the footsteps of other top-flight clubs by signing a Lincoln academy player on trial.

Liverpool signed Jack Hobbs from the Imps back in 2005 and goalkeeper Scott Loach joined Watford in 2006 from the Under-15 squad.
