Career

Born in East Berlin, Hinz came through the youth teams of 1. FC Union Berlin, only to be told as a 13-year-old that he had no future at the club.[1] Despite that, he returned four years later to help the club get promoted to the Under 19 Bundesliga. Hinz was rewarded with a call-up to the Germany national under-18 football team[2] where he made one appearance in 2004.

Having only made 11 appearances until 2008, Hinz moved to FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt. On 18 April 2009, he made his professional debut for the first team in the 3. Liga as a second-half substitute for the injured Dirk Orlishausen in a match against SV Wacker Burghausen.[3] A week later, he started the away game versus Kickers Emden.[4]

Starting for FC Oberneuland, Hinz made two appearances in the first half of the 2009–10 Regionalliga season. After having spent the 2010–11 season without a club, he joined SV Germania Schöneiche, starting seven games in the latter half of the 2011–12 NOFV-Oberliga season before the club withdrew from the league. In 2012, Hinz joined FSV Union Fürstenwalde where he finally became a regular between the posts, starting all-but-one of the 2012–13 NOFV-Oberliga season's fixtures for the Brandenburg-based team that finished second to BFC Viktoria 1889 in the league. Hinz made 16 appearances the following season before moving to Berlin-Liga team Tennis Borussia Berlin.[5]
