Career
Bristol Rovers
Sinclair joined newly relegated Conference Premier club Bristol Rovers in the summer of 2014.[4] During the 2014–15 season, he helped the club to gain an instant promotion back to The Football League.[5] On 8 August 2015, Sinclair made his Football League debut in a 1–0 home defeat to Northampton Town.[6] During Sinclair's third Football League appearance, he netted a late winner against Luton Town on 18 August 2015.[7] Sinclair continued to perform well, picking up various Man of the Match awards. His second and final goal of the season was during a 1–1 draw away at Exeter City.[8][9] After picking up an injury which required surgery and saw him out of action for over six weeks,[10] he missed the end of the 2015–16 season, including a dramatic match against Dagenham & Redbridge on the final day, which ended in a 2–1 win, after a 92nd-minute winner earned Sinclair and the club back to back promotions.[11]
