Sutton, who came to South Melbourne from Williamstown, was used mostly as a flanker. He left South Melbourne in 1924 to captain-coach St Patricks in the Ovens and Murray Assoc to the premiership. He moved on 1925 to captain-coach North Launceston for a season and steered them to a premiership.[1] After another stint at South Melbourne, Sutton crossed to Hawthorn in 1928 as captain-coach but the club failed to win a game all year.
