Jason Steven Cummings (born 1 August 1995) is a professional soccer player who plays as a striker for Indian Super League club Mohun Bagan. Born in Scotland, he represents the Australia national team, after previously representing Scotland at youth and senior international level.
Cummings started his professional career with Hibernian, making 16 appearances and scoring twice in the 2013–14 season. He was their top goal scorer over each of the next three seasons, scoring more than 20 goals each season, making him the first player to achieve this feat for over 50 years. These goals helped Hibs win the Scottish Cup in 2016 and promotion in 2017. He moved to Nottingham Forest in June 2017, but did not play regularly for their first team and was loaned to Rangers in January 2018, Peterborough United in July 2018 and Luton Town in January 2019. After a spell with Shrewsbury Town, Cummings signed for Dundee in 2021 and with them he would once again gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership. In 2022 Cummings signed for A-League Men club Central Coast Mariners, winning the league in 2022–23 and receiving the Joe Marston Medal for player of the match in the final, having scored a hat-trick.
He made his first full international appearance for Scotland in November 2017, but subsequently made himself available for selection by Australia. Cummings made his first appearance for them in September 2022, and was then selected in their 2022 World Cup squad.
