Early life

Originally from Broken Hill, Cumming played junior football Broken Hill before joining the Giants Academy. Isaac played in the 2016 League Premiership for his local club, the North Broken Hill Bulldogs, before being drafted with pick 20 in the 2016 AFL draft later that year.

AFL career

Greater Western Sydney

In March 2018, Cumming recommitted to GWS until 2020. [4] Wearing the number 13, [1] Cumming played 5 games in 2019, but was omitted from the squad for the club's historic finals series in which they made the grand final. [5] In the 2023 preliminary final against Collingwood, Cumming scored a goal to set up a 10-point lead at half time, but the Giants went on to lose by a solitary point. [6] A pre-season calf injury prevented Cumming from playing early in the 2024 season, but returned later and played 6 games for Greater Western Sydney. [7] Following the Giants' semi-final exit in 2024, Cumming informed the club of his desire to exercise his free agency, seeking a move to South Australia. [8]

Adelaide

In September 2024, Cumming announced his desire to join the Adelaide during the free agency period, citing fellow Broken Hill native Taylor Walker as a key influence behind the decision. [9] [1] Cumming officially signed with the Crows on 4 October. [10] [11]
