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 February 2016, Cummings became the first Hibs player to score in four consecutive Edinburgh derbies for 42 years after scoring the winner against Hearts in a Scottish Cup 4th round replay.[9] 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.[10] Cummings later scored the winning kick in the penalty shootout.[10] He then played the first 65 minutes of the final, which Hibs won 3–2 against Rangers.[11]

During the 2016 close season, Cummings signed a four-year contract with Hibs.[12] Peterborough United offered Hibs £1.2 million for Cummings in August 2016, but this proposal was rejected.[13]
