Footballing career

Carlisle United

Youth

Hindmarch, aged 14, playing in Carlisle United's Under-14-year old team, was attracting the interest of Premiership, but he decided to stay with his local professional club, signing YTS forms.[4] After signing for the club, Hindmarch played both for the youth and reserve teams at the Brunton Park club.

First team

On 3 September 2006, Hindmarch aged 16 years and 291 days old and a first year YTS player[5] was on the substitutes bench for the game against Cheltenham Town (he was given the squad number 28) after Michael Bridges moved on to Hull City and scoring against Bury's reserve team on 30 August 2006 the game finished 3–3,.[5] this was only Hindmarch's fourth reserve match,.[5] United manager Neil McDonald who was at the game was impressed with the goal.[5] He made his début for the 1st team on 9 September 2006, aged 16 years and 297 days, coming on as an 86th minute substitute replacing Simon Hackney in the process during the 1–1 draw against Northampton Town.[6] He would go on to appear 10 times for Carlisle during the 2006–07 all as substitute, failing to score any goals. During the 2007–08 season Hindmarch failed to regain a first team place and he was released in May 2008.

Shrewsbury Town

However, in May 2008, Hindmarch was signed by former Carlisle United manager Paul Simpson for League Two Shrewsbury Town, alongside former teammate Paul Murray.[7] He was among 8 players released after the play-off defeat to Gillingham at Wembley.

On 5 June 2009 Hindmarch joined Workington in the Conference North ahead of the new season. In 2014, he went abroad to Canada to sign with Kingston of the Canadian Soccer League.[8][9]
