From Mundulla in the south east of South Australia, Hinge broke into Glenelg's league side late in the 2006 season after some impressive reserves form. The reward for his efforts was to be elevated from the Crows rookie list to the senior list at the end of the season. He is capable of playing on the half back line or through the midfield. He was recruited from Sacred Heart College in Adelaide.
Hinge played his only AFL game on 5 May 2007 against Collingwood. Named on the bench, he performed solidly in a game where Adelaide was outplayed from start to finish, 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 AFL game. He joins Clayton Lamb as just the second player to play one game for Adelaide. Hinge played 75 SANFL league games with Glenelg and moved to play with Sturt for the 2010 season.
