Neil Anthony Cutler (born 3 September 1976 in Perton) is an English former football goalkeeper who retired in September 2007. He last played for Rotherham United, whom he joined just a couple of days before the 2005–06 season got under way.
He started his career as a trainee at Tamworth before been picked up by West Bromwich Albion but was sold to Crewe Alexandra without playing a game for West Brom. He spent his entire spell at Crewe as understudy to Jason Kearton and never played a game for Crewe either. He then played for Chester City from 1998 to 1999, after two previous loan spells with the club. He also enjoyed time on loan with Cheltenham Town.
Despite struggling to get a regular place in Chester's team, Cutler moved to Premier League giants Aston Villa in October 1999, where he made one substitute appearance. He enjoyed a loan spell at Oxford United before joining Stoke City in July 2001, helping them to win promotion to the Championship in 2002.
In March 2003 he joined Swansea City as cover for injured goalkeeper Roger Freestone. He played in the next 13 league games culminating in a superb performance against Hull City which kept the Swans in the football league.
The shot stopper joined Stockport County in the summer of 2004.
He was released by Rotherham United, along with rival Gary Montgomery, at the end of the 2006-07 season after his contract with the club expired.
After spending all pre-season and weeks into the new season without a club, and an on going back injury, Cutler decided to call time on his career, spanning 14 years, 10 clubs and over 200 appearances, over 60 of those whilst playing for Rotherham.
He is currently on the Management Committee of the Professional Footballers' Association, and in March 2008 joined Bury F.C. as a goalkeeping coach.
