Richard Paul Hinds (born 22 August 1980 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire) is a defender who plays club football at Sheffield Wednesday.
[edit] 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 Hinds signed for Hull City in League Two, helping them win promotion to League One and in all made 48 appearances for the Tigers and scoring once.
Hinds went on loan to Scunthorpe United and was signed on a 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 has since once again been 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. He has been linked with moves to Tranmere Rovers and Yeovil Town after failing to Cement a First team spot in the squad this Season.
