The Scotland international’s capture is a major coup for the Dark Blues, with the player looking to kick-start his career once more by rattling in the goals for the Championship side managed by his former team-mate McPake.
‘I want to score goals for Dundee’
And Cummings told Dee TV: “I just wanted to get back up the road and I know the manager from Hibs, he knows what I’m all about.
“A lot of other managers at other clubs, they don’t really know who I am so they have the wrong idea about my character.
“But the gaffer here knows me well, he trusts me and I know I can repay his trust.
“I just want to come here, enjoy football again and score goals for Dundee.
“Hopefully I can do well for the boys, bring some goals to the table and get Dundee promoted.”
