Career edit

Luton Town edit

Born in Potton, Bedfordshire, Hinds joined Luton Town at the age of seven and progressed through the club's youth system.[3] He was a member of the under-18 team that won the Youth Alliance South East title and the Youth Alliance Cup in 2015–16,[4][5] and also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup, in which they lost 1–0 to Blackburn Rovers.[6] Hinds made his Luton debut on 4 October 2016 in a 2–0 victory over West Bromwich Albion U23s in the EFL Trophy.[7]

Bristol City edit

On 31 January 2017, Hinds signed for Championship club Bristol City for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract, with the option of a further year.[8] On 8 August 2017, Hinds made his debut for Bristol City, scoring in a 5–0 victory over Plymouth Argyle in the EFL Cup first round.[9] He scored Bristol City's first goal in the second round two weeks later in a 3–2 away win over Premier League team Watford.[10]

On 30 August 2017, Hinds signed for League Two club Cheltenham Town on loan until January 2018.[11] He returned to Bristol City after the loan expired,[12] having made 14 appearances and scored one goal for Cheltenham.[13]

Hinds joined National League club Wrexham on 27 July 2018 on a season-long loan.[14] However, he made no appearances for the club and his loan was terminated by mutual agreement on 23 November 2018.[15] He joined National League South club Bath City on 4 January 2019 on a one-month loan.[16] The loan was extended until the end of 2018–19 on 5 February.[17]

He joined Colchester United of League Two on 28 August 2019 on loan until January 2020.[18]
