Career

Rutherford began his career at Livingston and was included in the first team squad on 28 September 2013, as an unused substitute in a 5–1 home win against Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Championship.[1] Rutherford played on 3 May 2014 in the final league match of the campaign in a 2–0 home win against Raith Rovers, replacing Marc McNulty in added time.[2]

On 17 June 2015, Rutherford moved to Queen of the South.[3] Rutherford made his debut for Queens away to Rangers at Ibrox on 17 October 2015, replacing Alex Harris for the final three minutes of the 2–1 defeat.[4] Rutherford moved out on loan to Arbroath of Scottish League Two on 8 January 2016, initially for the remainder of the season.[5] Rutherford made his debut for the Smokies on 8 February 2016, playing the entirety of a 1–1 draw against Stirling Albion at Gayfield Park.[6] Arbroath sacked their manager Todd Lumsden on 6 March 2016, after a run of six games without a win.[7] After the former Forfar manager Dick Campbell replaced Lumsden on 8 March 2016,[8] Rutherford returned to Dumfries earlier than scheduled after Arbroath's 2–1 defeat at Hampden Park on 19 March 2016 against Queen's Park.[9]

Rutherford left Palmerston Park at the end of the 2015–16 season, subsequently signing for Scottish League Two side Cowdenbeath in June 2016.[10]
