[edit] Playing Career

Hinds started his career at the academy of Tranmere Rovers before being promoted to the senior squad where he made a name for himself as a consistent and reliable performer.

After 51 appearances Hinds signed for Hull City in League Two, helping them win promotion to League One and in all made 48 appearances for the Tigers and scoring once.

Hinds went on loan to Scunthorpe United and was signed on a Bosman transfer only two months in his spell.

In July 2007, Hinds transferred to his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday after rejecting a contract from his former club Scunthorpe United and agreeing to sign on a two-year deal with the Owls. His first goal came as he headed home the winner in a 2–1 victory against Blackpool at Hillsborough on the 27th of October.
