Career

Cummings grew up a Hearts fan and attended Tynecastle High School.[1] He played for local boys team Hutchison Vale and then joined the Hearts youth program.[1] After struggling with injuries, Cummings was released by Hearts in 2012.[1] After an impressive season with Hutchison Vale he was signed by Hibernian in the summer of 2013.[1] Cummings made his debut senior appearance for Hibernian in a Scottish Premiership match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in November 2013.[2] Cummings scored his first career goals on 21 May 2014, netting twice as Hibernian won 2–0 against Hamilton Academical in the first leg of the promotion/relegation play-off.[3][4] Hibs lost the return match 2–0 and Cummings missed in the penalty shootout, which resulted in the club being relegated to the Scottish Championship.[5][6][7]

Cummings won the SPFL young player of the month award for September 2014, after his two goals helped Hibs to beat Rangers in Glasgow.[8] On 16 April 2016, Cummings missed a penalty kick with a Panenka attempt in the Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United, which ended goalless.[9] Cummings later scored the winning kick in the penalty shootout.[9]
