Middlesbrough signed Cumming from Scottish club Arbroath for £3,000 in 1936.[5] His career was interrupted by the Second World War, but he returned to play for Middlesbrough during the 1946–47 season.[5] During that season he was sent off in a game against Arsenal for punching Leslie Compton.[5] Cumming was forced to retire at the end of the 1946–47 season after operations failed to cure a knee injury.[5]
