A clutch assembly (10) suitable for use in a towing hitch assembly. The clutch assembly (10) comprises a first member (1) and a second member (2), both rotatably supported for rotation about a first rotational axis (3). The first member (1) engages the second member (2) such that the first member (1) is able to drive rotational movement of the second member (2) in a first rotational direction (D1) about the first rotational axis (3) and such that the first member (1) is also able to drive rotational movement of the second member (2) in a second rotational direction (D2) opposite the first rotational direction (D1). The engagement is configured with a rotational play between respective driving positions and the play is used such that such relative rotational movement between the first member (1) and the second member (2) controls movement of a locking mechanism (4) for locking the second member (2) when it is not driven by the first member (1).
