Club career

Hinds joined Premier League side Arsenal from the youth system of Leyton Orient as an under-14 in 2012.[5] He signed a professional contract of undisclosed length in February 2015 and another prior to joining Stevenage on loan in January 2017.[4][6]

On 8 July 2017, Hinds joined Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg on a three-year deal.[7]

On 31 January 2018, Hinds joined Regionalliga Bayern side SpVgg Greuther Fürth II, the second team of 2. Bundesliga side SpVgg Greuther Fürth, on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[8]

On 6 September 2018, Wolfsburg terminated Hinds's contract after an unauthorised week-long absence, with club managing director Jörg Schmadtke stating that "he has not fulfilled his contractual obligations despite repeated requests. We do not tolerate such behaviour."[9]

In August 2019, Hinds signed for Premier League side Watford on a one-year contract with the club holding the option of a one-year extension.[5] On 23 January 2020, he made his debut for Watford in a 2–1 FA Cup third round replay defeat away at Tranmere Rovers. Coming on as half-time substitute for Tom Dele-Bashiru, Hinds scored in the 68th minute to level the tie before Tranmere scored an extra-time winner.[10] He was released by Watford in June 2020.[11]

International career

Hinds has represented England at youth international levels, including under-17,[4] where he was part of the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup squad.[6] He has also played at under-18 level.[6][12]
