Early life
Souttar was born in Aberdeen and attended Luthermuir Primary School and Mearns Academy in Laurencekirk. Souttar played youth football for Brechin City Boys Club and was attached to Celtic before joining the Dundee United Academy in July 2013. His older brother John is also a professional footballer.
Dundee United
Souttar played for the Dundee United development team, including alongside his brother John in February 2015. Having featured in a number of match day squads and having been listed as a substitute for the first team, Souttar signed a contract extension in December 2015, tying him to Dundee United until May 2018. He made his first team debut against Partick Thistle in a Scottish Premiership match on 10 May 2016 and scored his first senior goal against Kilmarnock four days later.
English Premier League club Stoke City became interested in signing Souttar, and although Dundee United rejected two bids to buy the player during June 2016, it was reported during August 2016 that the clubs had agreed an initial £200,000 fee for his transfer.
Stoke City
Despite an agreement for Souttar's transfer to Stoke City having been reached before the end of the transfer window on 31 August, completion was delayed pending FIFA approval due to the player being under 18 years old. He officially joined Stoke on 29 September 2016, signing a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
International career
Souttar made his debut for the Scotland under-17 team against Romania in February 2015.
