Jason Cummings (born 1 August 1995) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Scottish Championship club Hibernian, as a forward.

Cummings grew up a Hearts fan and attended Tynecastle High School playing for local boys team Hutchison Vale before joining Hearts, after struggling with injuries he was released by Hearts in 2012.[1] After an impressive season with Hutchison Vale he was signed by Hibernian in summer 2013.[1] Cummings made his debut senior appearance for Hibernian in a Scottish Premiership match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in November 2013.[2] On 21 May 2014, Cummings scored his first career goals, netting twice as Hibernian won 2–0 against Hamilton Academical in the first leg of the Scottish Premiership Play-offs.[3][4] However, Cummings missed in the penalty shootout after Hibs lost the return leg 2–0 and were 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]
