One of the Rabbitohs’ favourite sons, Sutton played his junior football in the South Sydney District with the Coogee Wombats and Kensington United To many he represents the heart of the Rabbitohs Club. A keen surfer ‘Sutto’ started his career in the backs but has evolved into a quality ball playing back rower. A dislocated shoulder resigned him to the sidelines for a large chunk of 2007 but he still managed to play a big part in the Rabbitohs charge to their first final series in 18 years. Won 10 grand finals in a row with Kensington in his junior days.
