Lynch joined the original York City in 1914, which eventually disbanded in 1917.[1] He played for hometown club Castleford Town before joining First Division side Bradford City in July 1920.[1][2] He made four league appearances for the side before joining Raimes Viola in February 1921,[1] as they finished the 1920–21 season in 11th place in the York Football League Division Three A.[3]

He joined Welsh side Pontypridd in June 1921 and after a season with them joined York City for their first season in the Midland League in August 1922.[1] He was a regular in the York defence, making 33 appearances for the side and scoring a goal in his last game, in a 5–3 defeat to Worksop Town.[1]
