Ritchie Aidan Sutton (born 29 April 1986) is an English football player and manager who plays as a defender.
Beginning his career at Crewe Alexandra, he never made the first team. Instead, he enjoyed loan spells at non-League Leek Town and Stafford Rangers. He was released by Crewe in 2007. He returned to the non-League scene with Northwich Victoria, Halifax Town and Nantwich Town. In the summer of 2010, he signed with Port Vale before making the switch to Mansfield Town the following year. He won the Conference National title with Mansfield in 2012–13 and won the club's Player of the Season award in 2014–15. He moved to Tranmere Rovers in May 2015 and was loaned to Barrow in March 2016. He helped Tranmere to win promotion back into the English Football League with victory in the National League play-off final in 2018, before he was allowed to join Morecambe in January 2019. He returned to non-League football with Altrincham in August 2020. He was loaned out to Alfreton Town for the 2021–22 season and joined Nantwich Town as a player-coach in July 2022.
Sutton was appointed as joint manager at Nantwich Town in September 2022 alongside Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
