Sinclair began his footballing career in the youth system at Luton Town, signing a professional contract in July 2007, and spent time on loan at Salisbury City before joining the club permanently. He joined Stevenage of League Two in June 2010, contributing to the club's promotion to League One, and had loan spells at Aldershot Town.
