Born in Bishopstown, Cork, Cuthbert first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. Although he never played in the senior grade, Cuthbert won an All-Ireland medal as captain of the minor team in 1993.[citation needed]
At club level Cuthbert is a two-time championship medallist in the intermediate grade with Bishopstown as a hurler.[citation needed]
In retirement from playing Cuthbert became involved in team management and coaching. He began his career with various Cork development squads and the Cork Institute of Technology freshers team, before two years as manager of the Cork minor football team. He served as a senior selector under Conor Counihan while he also is heavily involved in coaching with the Bishopstown club side.[1][2]
On 15 October 2013 Cuthbert was appointed manager of the Cork Senior Football Team on a two-year term.[3][4] He resigned from the position on 28 July 2015.[5]
