Cuthbert joined Edinburgh from Bath in the summer of 2013. [3]

Cuthbert made his international debut for Scotland on 6 August 2011 against Ireland at Murrayfield, coming off the bench for an injured Nikki Walker, and was also called into the squad during the 2014 Six Nations Championship. [4]

On 4 April 2016, Cuthbert moved to the Jersey Reds in the RFU Championship to play there from the 2016–17 season. [5]
