I don't know exactly why he dropped to part time so quickly. He was a youth goalie at Preston and Derby etc and wasn't a million miles off being a number 2 or 3 at clubs like that so I'd imagine he made a conscious career decision to go Part time (he was a truck driver) and stay North West based in his clubs.What was the deal with Hinchliffe in his early career? He's clearly an excellent keeper so how did he end up in the regional leagues? Or was it one of those times when a player just needs to find his home- he's always been brilliant for Stockport whenever we played you
He's been a legend for us and I don't think he's finished yet. Two year contract to theoretically* be a great number 2 keeper and I would imagine we would look after him with coaching roles etc if that's the route he wants to go down. He's a great story. Hopefully he can stay full time with us and in football for a fair few more years, he deserves it.
*- I say theorteically, don't rule him out getting back between the sticks before the season is out. Addai has a dropped bollock or two in him to me and the fans will be quick to want Hinchliffe back in. He's seen a few keepers offs in his time here, including Vit Jaros who made his Premier League debut last Saturday for Liverpool.
