Sugawara was born in Muroran on June 3, 1976. He joined Verdy Kawasaki (later Tokyo Verdy) from youth team in 1995.

He played many matches as defensive midfielder. In 2006, he returned to Tokyo Verdy. Although the club was relegated J2 League from 2006, he played many matches and the club was promoted to J1 in 2008. However the club was relegated to J2 in a year and his opportunity to play decreased from 2009. He retired end of 2011 season.
He was well known for receiving a red card from the referee Jumpei Iida and being sent off in just 9 seconds after the kick-off of J2 League match between Tokyo Verdy and Sagan Tosu, held on April 15, 2009. This is the fastest sending-off record in the world football history,[3] however, it has not been filed for a Guinness Book of Records until now.
