Ante Šuto may still be relatively wet behind the ears, but he has already carved out a name for himself as a player of raw potential. Born on 19 June 2000 in Croatia, Šuto – now 25 – has made a name for himself as a dependable forward, plying his trade primarily as a right winger for Hibernian. Standing tall at 6ft (1.85m) and with a sturdy build weighing 12st 6lb (79kg), Šuto has shown himself to be just as at home in Scotland's Premiership as he was in Croatia's HNL. In action, you'll find him easily, donning the number 77 jersey.
Unless you're in the football business, precise valuations can be tricky to grasp. However, it's safe to say Šuto doesn't come cheap, as Transfermarkt values him at a cool £722K.
The football journey often sees players charting a course through clubs lesser known to the wider world before the big break. Šuto's journey was no different, having moved from Zmijavci in Croatia's Treća HNL to Slaven Belupo in the HNL in January 2024 for a fee kept under wraps.
Demonstrating commendable consistency in his debut 2023-2024 season at Slaven Belupo, Šuto made 12 first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches. He kept up the momentum in the following season, taking to the pitch 20 times and taking home four goals. In the current 2025-2026 season at Slaven Belpupo, he'd notched up 18 appearances and four goals before he swapped Croatia's HNL for Scotland's Premiership in February 2026. His journey led him to Hibernian, callable for an undisclosed fee.
Despite the relatively fresh transition to Hibernian, Šuto has wasted no time in making his mark, boasting three first team appearances and two goals in league matches in the current 2025-2026 season. Given his consistent trajectories thus far, it's clear that Šuto is a player on a path of upward career progression, one that Celtic fans will be watching closely, albeit through a green-and-white lens.
