Richard Paul Hinds (born 22 August 1980 in

Welsh Premier League
. He is now a primary school teacher.

Playing career

Hinds started his career at the academy of Tranmere Rovers before being promoted to the senior squad where he made a name for himself as a consistent and reliable performer.

After 51 appearances, in July 2003 he signed for

Macclesfield Town.[4]

In March 2005 he joined Scunthorpe United on loan.[5]

In May 2005 he was released by Hull City

Bosman transfer
only two months in his spell.

In July 2007, Hinds transferred to his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday after rejecting a contract from his former club Scunthorpe United and agreeing to sign on a two-year deal with the Owls. His first goal came as he headed home the winner in a 2–1 victory against Blackpool at Hillsborough on 27 October 2007.

In only the second game of the 2008–09 season, a 1–4 defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Hinds suffered a severe fracture of his left leg. The injury looked like keeping him out for the majority of the remaining season but he returned in late February and once again became a regular member of the squad and in mid-march began claiming his place in the centre of the Owls defence at the expense of Mark Beevers. Hinds remained a firm fan favourite at Sheffield Wednesday, as he became one of the shining lights of the team and a rock at the centre of the defence. However, in the 2009–10 season he failed to hold down a place in the squad.

On 10 May 2011, Hinds was released from his contract by Sheffield Wednesday along with teammate Tommy Miller.[7] On 4 November 2011, Richard Hinds signed with Conference side Lincoln City until the end of the year.[8]

On 2 February 2012, Hinds signed for

Football League Cup.[11] He then scored again the following Saturday in League One, against Coventry City, in a 1–1 draw. Hinds was an unused substitute in the 2013 League One play-off final against Brentford on 19 May 2013, as Yeovil won promotion to the Championship for the first time in the club's history.[12] Hinds was released by the Yeovil at the end of the season having not been offered a new contract.[13]

On 18 July 2013,

Hartlepool United.[16] Hinds was released at the end of the 2013–14 season by Bury.[17]

Hinds joined Cymru Alliance side Llandudno on 22 August 2014 in a player/ assistant manager capacity.

Outside football

In 2011, Hinds attained a first-class honours degree in law from the Open University, believing that "footballers should plan for life after football while they are still playing".[18]
