Warren Thomas Cummings (born 15 October 1980 in Aberdeen) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing as a defender for Bournemouth.

Playing career

Cummings started his career at Chelsea but never made it into the first team, and instead was loaned out several times - Bournemouth 2000-01, West Bromwich Albion 2000-01 and 2001–02, and Dundee United in 2002-03.

Following his return from the Dundee United loan spell, Cummings was again loaned to Bournemouth, for a three month spell, before signing a permanent deal with the club. He went on to make 23 appearances for the Cherries in that season, helping them win promotion via the playoffs.

In the following season he established himself as a first team player, making 46 appearances in total and scoring 2 goals.

The 2004-05 season brought a playoff push for the Cherries, with Cummings playing an important part and scoring 3 goals. However, during the away derby with Swindon Town in March 2005, he suffered a double broken leg in a crunch tackle by Swindon's Steve Jenkins. This was a major blow to both Cummings and the Cherries, and was a major factor in Bournemouth failing in their playoff bid. Nonetheless, Cummings signed a new deal with Bournemouth in the summer of 2006. He made his league return as a late substitute in the 3-0 defeat to Chesterfield at the start of the 2006-07 campaign. In June 2007 Cummings signed a new two year deal with Bournemouth. He broke his arm in a 1-1 draw with Northampton Town on 15 September 2007.

Cummings won his only Scotland cap to date in May 2002, when he played in a Far East tour game against Hong Kong. Scotland won the Reunification Cup match 4–0.
