UK-born Zimbabwean prospect Ethan Sutherland (19) has joined up with the Wolves squad for their preseason tour in Portugal as he looks to make an early impression with an eye on a possible first team breakthrough next season.
Sutherland, who plays as a wing back/winger earned his place in the preseason touring squad as a replacement for Wes Okoduwa who travelled back to England with injury this week.
He joins Zimbabwean compatriots Marshall Munetsi and Tawanda Chirewa in Portugal.
The 19-year-old winger, who previously represented Scotland at U19 level, recently agreed to switch allegiance to Zimbabwe.
Born in Scotland to a Zimbabwean mother and a Scottish father, the promising winger qualifies to represent either nation at the senior level.
Sutherland began his football journey at St. Mirren in Scotland before joining Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Although yet to feature for Wolves’ first team, he spent last season gaining valuable experience on loan at National League club Solihull Moors.
He made his debut for Scotland’s U19s in October 2024 during a 2–1 win against Hungary, accumulating three caps but never breaking into the senior side. Known for his pace and versatility, he can operate both as a winger and a right back.
