Club career

Peterborough United

Lynch joined Peterborough United on a two-year scholarship from Welsh Alliance League side Amlwch Town in 2011.[3] In 2013, Lynch was given a one-year professional contract and was subsequently loaned to Histon (Conference South), Stamford (Northern Premier League Premier Division) and Brackley Town (Conference North) to gain experience.[4]

Wycombe Wanderers

In 2014, Lynch signed a two-year contract with Wycombe Wanderers after being released by Peterborough United. Lynch was loaned out to Hayes and Yeading (Conference South) and Burnham (Southern League Premier Division) to gain further experience.[5]

On 2 May 2015, Lynch made his professional debut as a substitute for the injured Matt Ingram in a 3–2 win against Northampton Town.[6] Lynch continued to deputise for Ingram as Wycombe progressed from their League Two playoff semi–final against Plymouth Argyle to the 2015 League Two playoff final.[7]

On 7 August 2015, Lynch was loaned to Conference South side Wealdstone due to an injury to Jonathan North, however he was recalled without making an appearance in the same month.[8][9] On 9 January 2016, Lynch featured in Wycombe's 1–1 draw against Aston Villa in the FA Cup 3rd round due to the suspension of Matt Ingram.

On 31 January 2018, Lynch joined Welsh Premier League side Llandudno,[10] although he was released at the end of the season.

He was hospitalised in July 2018 whilst playing for Holyhead Hotspur.[11]

International career

Lynch has represented Wales at under-17 and under-19 level.[4]
