The 26-year-old Jamaica international was a product of Arsenal’s academy and made one appearance for the reigning European champions in 2017 during a 7-0 FA WSL Cup victory over the London Bees.

Hinds left Arsenal to join Everton in 2018, alongside Chloe Kelly, who is in talks over a new deal with Arsenal after her successful loan from Manchester City. She joined Merseyside rivals Liverpool in 2020. A versatile player capable of playing as a midfielder, full-back and wing-back, Hinds featured in every match for Liverpool in her first two seasons, helping the club return to the Women’s Super League in 2022.

That year, she signed a new long-term contract in 2022, which is now set to expire on 30 June.

Hinds was made vice captain in 2023 under former head coach Matt Beard and has captained the side a number of times.

Hinds made 22 Women’s Super League appearances for Liverpool last season, scoring two goals as the club finished seventh in the league table following difficult start to the season and the departure of Beard in March.

Liverpool have yet to name a full-time manager following Beard’s departure.

Hinds is one of many players out of contract at Liverpool this summer, including Japan international Fuka Nagano and Wales international Ceri Holland.

Arsenal are hoping to bolster their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season as Renee Slegers’ side look to compete on multiple fronts. Hinds’ versatility and WSL experience makes her an ideal player for cover in defence and the centre of the park.
