Career

Hyndman was born in Belfast and moved with her family to Grange, County Sligo when she was 12 years old.[1] She was selected for the Northern Ireland women's national under-19 football team while playing for Colchester United of the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division in England.[2]

She later played as a defender for Women's National League club Castlebar Celtic, while she attended Institute of Technology, Sligo.[3] When Castlebar Celtic folded, she continued her football career by travelling to play for Sion Swifts of the Northern Ireland Women's Premiership. This was due to a lack of women's football teams in the Border Region.[4]

Hyndman has been capped for the Northern Ireland national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[5] She was named in the senior squad for the final UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying fixture against Belarus at The Showgrounds, Newry in July 2008.[6] She started the match as Northern Ireland drew 1–1 and collected their first ever point in the Euro qualifying stage.[7][8]

Hyndman's nickname is Dizzy. When Sligo Rovers entered the Women's Under-17 National League in June 2018, Hyndman was announced as part of the coaching team.[9]
