Linfoot started out in 2001-02 in the National Minibike Championships, later moving up the 125cc category in 2004. In 2005 Linfoot came 4th in the championship.[1] Linfoot then went on to ride in the World 250cc championship in 2007 and European superstock championship in 2008.
For the 2009 season Linfoot moved back to England to race in the British Supersport Championship, Linfoot started well gaining a 3rd position at the first meeting at Brands Hatch. Linfoot was later injured due to a big crash during qualifying at Snetterton braking his metatarsals.[2] Linfoot returned 3 meetings later at Brands Hatch, gaining 7th and 5th places before been called up to the British Superbike Championship to replace the injured Jon Kirkham.[3] Just a week after making his BSB debut Linfoot was given a wildcard entry to the World Supersport Championship at Magny-Cours.[4]
