Cunnington joined Conference North side Solihull Moors in July 2010,[6] and having scored 10 goals in 22 appearances for the club he signed for Conference National side Kettering Town for an undisclosed fee on 1 February 2011, transfer deadline day.[2][7] He made his Kettering debut on 26 February, starting the team's 2–0 victory at home over Newport County.[2] He only managed his first Kettering goal in the side's last game of the 2010–11 season, a 3–1 home victory over Southport on 30 April.[2] He finished the season with 14 appearances for Kettering.[2]

Having started the 2011–12 season with five goals in 13 appearances,[2] Cunnington joined League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge on loan on 24 November with a view to a permanent transfer.[8] His debut came two days later after starting a 3–0 defeat away at Accrington Stanley.[2] After making four appearances for Dagenham he permanently moved to the club upon the loan's expiration on 4 January 2012, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.[2][9] He joined Conference side Alfreton Town on a one-month loan on 9 March.[10]
