Club career

Having been with the club as a youth player for several years,[2] Cunningham made his senior debut for Hamilton Academical on 14 May 2016.[3] He signed a new two-year contract with Accies later that month.[4]

Cunningham was loaned to Scottish League One club Forfar Athletic in September 2018.[5] He scored a goal on his debut appearance for Forfar, in a 3–1 defeat to Arbroath on 15 September.[6] He returned to Hamilton in January 2019,[7] then suffered an ankle injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season.[8][9] In June 2019 he signed a contract extension with Hamilton, until summer 2020.[10]

He scored his first goals for the club in the early-season group stage of the 2019–20 Scottish League Cup,[8][9] then registered his first in the Scottish Premiership with a late penalty to secure a 2–1 win over Livingston.[11]

On 5 February 2020, Cunningham moved on loan to Clyde for the remainder of the season.[12]

Cunningham left Hamilton in August 2020, after 11 years with the club.[13] In September 2020 he returned to Clyde on a permanent contract.[14]

On 24 May 2023, Cunningham signed for Kelty Hearts.[15]

On 26 May 2025, Cunningham signed for Scottish League Two club Stirling Albion.[16]
