Where is Trevor Sinclair now?

A versatile winger who could play on both flanks, Trevor Sinclair played his last professional game for Cardiff City in the 2008 FA Cup final before moving to Dubai with his wife and children.

Starting his career at Blackpool he played for 19 years making 660 first team appearances for five clubs including five season stints at both Queens Park Rangers and West Ham United.  

On the internatonal front he played for the England national side on 12 occasions between 2001 and 2003 including four appearances at the 2002 FIFA World Cup Finals in South Korea and Japan.

Upon retiring from playing, Sinclair stayed in the United Arab Emirates where he hosted the football talk show Final Score, a programme that reviews the week’s action from the Premier League on the Abu Dhabi Sports Channel.

He also worked as a coach for football academy Go-Pro Sports coaching young talent until he moved back to the UK in 2014 where he linked up with former QPR team-mate Darren Peacock as his assistant at non-league Lancaster City.  

After a disappointing start to the 2015-16 season, the pair left the club by mutual consent after both feeling they had taken the club as far as they could.

In November 2017, Sinclair was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, common assault, criminal damage and racism in his home town of Lytham. When the case went to trial in January 2018, he admitted to all charges and was given 150 hours of community service and a 20-month road ban.

Having worked as a regular pundit for the BBC’s football coverage since 2008 the corporation said ‘they had no scheduled plans to use him on our programmes’ after his conviction.

Sinclair then joined radio station talkSPORT as a regular contributor but caused national outrage for a Tweet he put out immediately after Queen Elizabeth’s death in September 2022 writing ‘Racism was outlawed in England in the 60’s & it’s been allowed to thrive so why should black and brown mourn!!’.

He was subsequently suspended and left the station.

A holder of the UEFA ‘A’ licence, Sinclair spent time working as a scholar coach for the Orange Soccer Academy before joining the Pro Direct Academy Lancashire in his current role as head-coach of the under-18’s side.

In 2024 he assisted former West Ham team mate Igor Stimac in the India national team set up during their Asia Cup campaign
