Jordan James Sinnott (born February 14, 1994 in Bradford , † January 25, 2020 in Sheffield ) was an English football player . The son of longtime professional footballer Lee Sinnott played 19 games in the divisions of the Football League for Huddersfield Town , Bury FC and Chesterfield FC between 2013 and 2018 .

Career

Sinnott played in the youth division of Huddersfield Town , where his father also played as a professional from 1997 to 2000, in 2010 he moved up to the club's youth academy, was captain of the U18 team in the 2011/12 season and signed his first in April 2012 Professional contract. In December 2012 he was signed by sixth division FC Altrincham on loan for a month, his father was the coach there, under whom he made six league appearances until the beginning of January. In the following weeks he was for Huddersfield in two FA Cup games against Leicester City in the starting line-up and also made his league debut in the Football League Championship in a 6-1 defeat by Nottingham Forest in February 2013 .

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season he was loaned to the fourth division club Bury , where he was announced as a playmaker and described by Bury coach Kevin Blackwell on the occasion of the loan planned for six months as a "creative and pass-ass" player. By mid-October 2013, Sinnott came to ten competitive appearances and scored a goal in a 3-0 win over Accrington Stanley before he was ordered back from Huddersfield. While he only had a brief appearance for the professional team during the rest of the season, he won the championship in the Professional Development League 2 North with the U21 as team captain . The last time interim coach Mark Lillis played in a competitive match in August 2014 , he played no role under Chris Powell , who had taken over as head coach at Huddersfield in September 2014, and at the beginning of February 2015 his contract, as well as that of his teammate Matt Crooks , was terminated prematurely .

Shortly thereafter, he joined Altrincham again on a non-contractual basis, the club had meanwhile been promoted to the fifth-rate Conference National and was still looked after by his father. For the 2015/16 season he received a one-year contract with Altrincham and was initially in the right midfield, later as a right full-back in the regular team, but the club missed relegation at the end of the season as third from bottom. After relegation, Sinnott joined the club FC Halifax Town, which was also relegated from the fifth division . At Halifax he was one of the top performers at the start of the season and played 35 league games (7 goals) over the course of the season. Acting in the central midfield, he finished third in the table with Halifax at the end of the season, and the team managed to return to the National League via the play-offs. In the play-off final, he prepared both goals in the 2-1 win against FC Chorley and was named Man of the Match by the local newspaper Halifax Courier .

Sinnott's performances did not go unnoticed even with higher-class teams, so Gary Caldwell , coach of Chesterfield FC , also attended two play-offs from Halifax to watch the midfielder. During the summer break of 2017, Sinnott signed a two-year contract with third division relegated Chesterfield, Caldwell described his newcomer as a player "who can hurt teams with his quality and his last pass". In the early phase of the season, Sinnott was part of the regular team, he scored his first competitive goal on August 19, 2017 in a 2-0 home win against Port Vale , his goal celebration in front of the opposing fans ensured that they were at the club, the English association and the Football League complained about Sinnott. As a result, he found less and less consideration under Caldwell, under whose successor Jack Lester he fought his way back into the team before he was out for several months at the beginning of December 2017 due to an ankle injury. Sinnott played his only competitive game after his injury-related loss on the last matchday of the 2017/18 season , when Chesterfield was already bottom of the table and thus relegated; Sinnott had played eleven competitive games (two goals) during the season. Sinnott was allowed a free transfer by the new coach Martin Allen , which the player initially refused, as did a loan. With no prospect of playing at Chesterfield (he was not assigned a shirt number at the start of the season), he finally left in mid-September 2018.

His new employer was the sixth division Alfreton Town , where Billy Heath accompanied the coaching post, under which Sinnott had previously played at Halifax. With Alfreton, Sinnott just managed to stay in the National League North in the 2018/19 season , to which Sinnott had contributed with 5 goals in 26 appearances. In the 2-1 final win in the Derbyshire Senior Cup against Mickleover Sports in April 2019, he prepared the 1-0 opening goal. In August 2019 he moved one division down to Matlock Town in the Premier Division of the Northern Premier League . In his last appearance on January 13, 2020, he had scored a hat trick in a League Cup match against Basford United .

Sinnott was found on January 25, 2020 at around 2 a.m. in Retford Market Square with severe head injuries to which he died at the age of 25 at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield that evening . The police opened a murder investigation.
