Rutter was educated at Rugby School. He was a member of the committee that drafted the rules for Rugby union.[2]

Although he was a free-hitting right-handed batsman, Rutter was more prominent as a slow left-handed round-arm bowler.[2] Playing for Middlesex against Kent at Gravesend in 1868 he had a match analysis of 11 for 123.[3] When Surrey beat Middlesex by three wickets in 1870, he took every Surrey wicket that fell in the second innings, finishing with 7 for 47.[4]

He wrote a memoir, Cricket Memories, which was published in 1925, the year before he died.[2]
