*Club domestic league appearances and goals

He made his début for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a home game against Falkirk. In the next season, 2006–07, Sutherland's appearances were limited by manager Charlie Christie. His first game of the season saw him come on as a substitute against Dunfermline Athletic in September. However, he did not play with the first team again until December in a game against Kilmarnock. He conceded a penalty kick which was the winning goal in a 4–3 win for Killie.[1] Sutherland did not play again until April, against Kilmarnock again and then Dunfermline again in May.

He scored his first goal for the club in July 2007, in a pre-season victory over Clachnacuddin. When Craig Brewster was appointed manager in September 2007, Sutherland was sent on loan to Elgin City on loan for the season. This proved to be a good move for Sutherland, as he was voted Elgin's player of the season, only missed a handful of games and was nominated for the Third Division player of the year. He returned to Inverness CT in April 2008, and signed a new one-year contract in the same month, but left the club at the end of the contract.

He joined Buckie Thistle in 2011 and then moved to Brora Rangers in 2013.
