Club career

Lindsay attended Wynton Rufer's WYNRS academy in Auckland and in 2007 contested the Manchester United Premier Cup with Central United.[3] In 2009, he signed a four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers where he made 16 youth academy appearances.[4] In 2011, he signed for Wellington Phoenix[5] and despite making no appearances for the Phoenix during the 2011–12 A-League season signed a new two-year deal with club in April 2012.[6]

Lindsay was in line to make his debut in the Round 2 away fixture versus Melbourne Heart due to seven Phoenix players being away on international duty, unfortunately he fell ill and was taken to hospital where doctors ruled him out of the game.[7] He finally made his debut nearly three months later as a second-half substitute at AAMI Park against Melbourne Victory on 5 January 2013.[8]

In September 2013 Lindsay was released from Wellington Phoenix and joined Team Wellington.[9] At the end of the end of his first season with Team Wellington, he joined reigning champions Auckland City FC.[10]

International career

Lindsay was part of the New Zealand under 17 side that contested the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, playing in all 4 of New Zealand's matches.[11] In 2011, he travelled with the New Zealand under 20 side to the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia where he made a single appearance.[12]
