Hinge played his only AFL game on 5 May 2007 against Collingwood at AAMI Stadium. Named on the bench, he performed solidly in a game where Adelaide was defeated,[1] but limped off the ground after a hamstring injury.
Hinge was delisted from the Crows squad at the end of the 2007 season after playing just one game. He joined Clayton Lamb as just the second player to play only one game for Adelaide. Hinge played 75 SANFL league games with Glenelg and moved to play with Sturt for the 2010 season.[2]
He is the elder brother of Adelaide Crows AFL football player Mitch Hinge.[3]
