Club Career
Cross joined Edinburgh Rugby in 2003 after starting his professional career with London Wasps where he captained the Under-21 side for three years.
During the 2006–07 season, Cross was loaned by Edinburgh to English National Division One club Waterloo for a period of one month.
Cross was appointed Club Captain at the start of the 2007–08 season alongside Allister Hogg as First Team Captain. Cross will retain the club captaincy for the 2008–09 season, this time with Mike Blair as First Team Captain.
In April 2008, Cross signed a new two-year contract with Edinburgh.
As part of the draft of all players from the Scottish pro-teams (Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors) to the Scottish Premier One rugby clubs, Cross was selected by Selkirk and will be available to play for them during the 2008–09 season when not required by Edinburgh or any of the national teams.
Cross will retire from professional rugby at the end of the 2009/2010 season due to persistent knee problems.
