Having joined Edinburgh Rugby on a FOSROC Scottish Rugby Academy deal in 2014, Sutherland went on to make nearly 100 appearances for the club.
His form saw him win Scotland honours and he played two Tests for the British and Irish Lions in the 2021 tour of South Africa.
Sutherland went on to join Worcester Warriors. He joined Ulster on a short-term deal after he left Worcester Warriors when the entire squad had their contracts terminated due to the liquidation of the company that employed them.
He spent last season with French Top 14 club Oyannax.
