Jack Cuthbert (born 3 September 1987 in Bristol, England) [2] is a Scottish rugby union player for Jersey Reds in the RFU Championship. He plays as a winger/fullback or outside centre, although most of his senior appearances have come in the number 15 jersey. He has also acted as a goal kicker on occasions.

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]

In late 2020, Cuthbert topped a poll for the best Scottish winger of the decade by a remarkable 50% margin.
