Brings born and bred Sheffield steel to the heart of the Wednesday defence. Followed manager Brian Laws from Scunthorpe United
Regarded as a tough-tackling yet composed centre-half, Sheffield-born Hinds started out with Tranmere Rovers in 1998, where he made a name for himself as a consistent and reliable performer.
After 51 appearances he switched to League Two Hull City, helping the club to promotion before moving down the east coast to rivals Scunthorpe United in 2005.
Under then-Iron manager Brian Laws he was named Player of the Year in his first season and then helped the club to the Championship before following Laws to Hillsborough in July 2007.
He has since played regularly at the heart of defence for his boyhood heroes, making 30 league starts in his first season.
