Christopher Ian Hussey (born 2 January 1989) is an English former professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Southern League Premier Division Central Stratford Town, where he is also currently caretaker manager. He made 564 professional league and cup appearances in a 16-year career, scoring 20 goals.
Hussey spent his youth with Brentford and Woking before earning a professional contract with AFC Wimbledon in 2007. He spent time on loan at Windsor & Eton. He helped Wimbledon to progress from the Isthmian League Premier Division to the Conference Premier with two successive promotions. Hussey was signed by Championship club Coventry City in January 2010 and managed to become a regular starter for the team. He rejoined AFC Wimbledon in January 2013, and he had by then won a place in the English Football League.
Hussey left Wimbledon and signed with Burton Albion in June 2013. He ended the 2013–14 season on loan at Bury and joined the club on a free transfer in May 2014. Hussey was promoted out of League Two with Bury in 2014–15 and was sold on to League One rivals Sheffield United in June 2016. He struggled for game time in the 2016–17 title-winning season and spent the 2017–18 season in League Two on loan at Swindon Town, before he joined Cheltenham Town on a free transfer in May 2018. Hussey helped Cheltenham to reach the play-offs at the end of the 2019–20 season; they won promotion the following season as League Two champions. He was named on the EFL League Two Team of the Season for the 2020–21 season. He was sold to Port Vale in January 2022 and joined Stockport County nine months later. He signed with Walsall in June 2023, only to announce his retirement three months later. He later played non-League football for Stratford Town, becoming caretaker manager in November 2024.
