Sean Lynch (born 31 January 1987) is a Scottish professional footballer.
Lynch, a midfielder, made his first-team debut for Hibs against Kilmarnock on 5 April 2006. He made just one more appearance that season and had to wait a year before he got another chance where he played three matches during the month of February 2007. He didn't feature at all for Hibs during the 2007–08 season and he was sent on an emergency loan to St. Johnstone in February. He was returned to Hibs after being injured in his first game for Saints, a Tayside derby match against Dundee.
Lynch was released by Hibernian in August 2008,[1] and he signed for Falkirk a month later.[2] He made his first start for Falkirk in the goalless draw with Hamilton at New Douglas Park on 19 September 2009. Although he had been signed by John Hughes for Falkirk from Hibs, Lynch did not start to win a regular place in the Falkirk side until after Hughes himself had left Falkirk to manage Hibs.[3] Lynch was released by Falkirk after the club was relegated from the SPL in 2010.[4]
Following a trial spell, Lynch signed for St. Mirren in July 2010.[5] Lynch made his league debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Dundee United on 14 August 2010.[6] He marked his debut with a goal, scoring a volley from the edge of the penalty area.[6]
Lynch signed for Airdrie United in July 2011. He left the club in May 2013 and subsequently signed for Stenhousemuir. Lynch scored the winning penalty in a shootout against Dundee that allowed Stenhousemuir to progress to the semi-finals of the 2013–14 Scottish Challenge Cup.[7]
