Rugby career
Hinton was chosen for just a single international cap, which was awarded in the final game of the 1884 Home Nations Championship in a game against Ireland. Hinton was brought in as a replacement for George Lockwood Morris and was one of three new players brought into the pack; the others being Llanelli's Buckley Roderick and Samuel Goldsworthy of Swansea. Wales won the match by a drop-goal and two tries to nil; but despite the win Hinton was not reselected for the following tournament.
