Cameron Melrose Lindsay is a New Zealand footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Tasman United in the New Zealand Football Championship.[2]
Club career
Lindsay attended Wynton Rufer's WYNRS academy in Auckland and in 2007 contested the Manchester United Premier Cup with Central United.[3] In 2009 he signed a four-year contract with Blackburn Rovers where he made 16 youth academy appearances.[4] In 2011 he signed for Wellington Phoenix[5] and despite making no appearances for the Phoenix during the 2011-12 A-League season signed a new two-year deal with club in April 2012.[6]
Lindsay was in line to make his debut in the Round 2 away fixture versus Melbourne Heart due to seven Phoenix players being away on international duty, unfortunately he fell ill and was taken to hospital where doctors ruled him out of the game.[7] He finally made his debut nearly three months later as a second-half substitute at AAMI Park against Melbourne Victory on 5 January 2013.[8]
In September 2013 Lindsay was released from Wellington Phoenix and joined Team Wellington.[9] At the end of the end of his first season with Team Wellington, he joined reigning champions Auckland City FC.[10]
International career
Lindsay was part of the New Zealand under 17 side that contested the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria, playing in all 4 of New Zealand's matches.[11] In 2011 he travelled with the New Zealand under 20 side to the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia where he made a single appearance.[12]
