Suddons began his NLL career in the 2001 with the beleaguered Columbus Landsharks. When the Landsharks moved to Phoenix, Arizona, becoming the Arizona Sting, Suddons opted to sign with the Toronto Rock so that he could be closer to his Whitby, Ontario hometown.[2] Suddons won the 2005 championship with the Rock, and played with the club until early in the 2009 NLL season, when he was traded, along with Ryan Benesch, to the Edmonton Rush.[3] His four years with the Rush were capped with a loss in the 2012 Champions Cup match against the Rochester Knighthawks, at which point Suddons once again chose to go back east, signing with the Buffalo Bandits.[4] He signed with the New England Black Wolves prior to the 2016 season.[5]
