Playing career
Early career
Graham played the majority of his schoolboy football with Tramore Athletic, and also had a spell with College Corinthians.
Cobh Ramblers
Graham joined Cobh Ramblers in 2006 and achieved promotion with them in his second season under Stephen Henderson. He scored 11 league goals as Cobh won the First Division, and he was named in the PFAI First Division Team of the Year.[1] He continued to play for Cobh in the Premier Division in 2008, but they were relegated that year.
Waterford United
After Cobh were relegated from the league the following season, Graham moved onto Waterford United,[2] where he again linked up with Stephen Henderson, former Cobh Ramblers manager. He won the Munster Senior Cup with Waterford that year. Graham enjoyed great personal success in his first and only season with the club, he became one of the clubs top scorers, scoring 17 league goals, and he was named in the PFAI First Division Team of the Year for the second time in his career.
Cork City
In March 2010 Graham signed for his local club Cork City.[3] Graham was called up to the Ireland U23 squad versus Estonia in September 2010.[4] He played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 away win.[5] In October 2010 Graham was named in the PFAI First Division Team of the Year and won the PFAI First Division Player of the Year award.[6][7] He finished the season as City's top scorer, and joint top scorer in the First Division with 18 league goals. Graham scored his first hat-trick for City in a 5-0 league win over Finn Harps on 15 April 2011.[8][9] He scored the winner against St.Pats in the quarter final of the Ea sports cup.
Record Breaker
On 4 October 2011, in a game against Monaghan, Graham Cummins scored his 21st goal of the season, becoming the first ever Cork City player to score more than 20 league goals in a season. The previous record was held by Pat Morley (footballer) (who is a first cousin of Grahams mother, Susan Morley), who had on two occasions scored 20 league goals in a season. He went on to score 24 goals that season including the goal that clinched the First Division title for Cork City away to rivals Shelbourne in the 94th minute of the final game of the season at Tolka Park
Preston North End
On 30 January 2011, Cork City announced that they had accepted a transfer bid for Cummins from Preston North End.[10]
Tuesday 31 January 2012 - Graham Cummins put pen to paper and signed for League One side Preston North End on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee, thought to in the region of €100,000.
