Former Hibs star completes summer transfer as he joins club owned by local police The former Hibs star has also featured for the likes of Rangers and Nottingham Forest. A former Hibs star has signed for a new club abroad, it’s been confirmed, as he signs for a side owned by the local police. Jason Cummings is fondly remembered at Easter Road for his part in helping win the Scottish Cup and Championship during his time in Leith. He’s since featured for Nottingham Forest, Rangers and others in the UK before a career-changing move to Australia with Central Coast Mariners thrust him into Socceroos contention at the 2022 World Cup. He’s most recently been with Mohun Bagan in India but the former Hibs and Nottingham Forest star has signed for Ho Chi Minh City Police FC. They finished 5th in V.League 1 last term, the top tier of Vietnamese football. Between 1979 and 2002, the club were controlled by the city‘s police department, and the club’s ownership was put in the hands of the Ho Chi Minh City Public Security Department during 2025. They are the local municipal police force and central law enforcement agency for the city and Cummings has joined the football team’s ranks ahead of action beginning in Vietnam next month. Who has Jason Cummings signed for? A club statement from Cummings’ new side in Vietnam reads: “Welcome Jason Cummings to Ho Chi Minh City Police FC. Born in 1995, this striker holds dual citizenship (Scotland and Australia) and has represented both nations at the international level. Jason Cummings was part of the Australian squad that competed in the 2022 World Cup. Cummings has played for English clubs such as Nottingham Forest and Luton Town, as well as Scottish sides like Rangers and Dundee. “In recent years, he has competed in the Australian A-League with the Central Coast Mariners and played for Mohun Bagan FC, one of the most storied clubs in the Indian national league. With his experience across diverse footballing environments and his ability to play at high intensity, Jason Cummings is expected to bring added power and versatility to Ho Chi Minh City Police FC's attack in the upcoming period.” Cummings said on Instagram of leaving Mohun Bagan: “Thank you for everything Mohun Bagan. What a journey it has been. 5 trophies in 3 seasons and countless memories. It was an honour wearing the green and maroon. “Thank you to the fans you were the most craziest and most passionate fans I’ve ever seen. I loved nothing more than scoring goals and putting a smile on your faces. I met some incredible lads along the way that I’ll never forget. Once a Mariner always a Mariner. Joy Mohun Bagan. Aramse.”
