Born in Liverpool and growing up as a Liverpool fan,[2] Cummins joined Motherwell in July 2011 from Everton, and was immediately drafted into the Motherwell under-19 squad. His performances for the Under-19's led to him featuring from the start in friendlies for the Motherwell reserves.

Cummins made his first-team debut in a 1–0 win over Aberdeen on 17 March 2012, playing the full 90 minutes.[3] He later got his first career goal in a 5–1 win away to Inverness Caley Thistle on 18 November 2012.[4] On 4 December 2012, Cummins signed a 2+12-year contract extension, keeping him at Motherwell until Summer 2015.[5] Cummins said signing a contract extension was an easy decision.[6]
