Lindsay signed for Burnley in 1914 after club officials observed his impressive performances during the Vienna Cup whilst on loan to Irish club Glentoran, who won the tournament.[1] He was a member of the Clarets squad that won the 1920–21 Football League championship, contributing 8 appearances and 2 goals.
His elder brother William was also a footballer; they were teammates at Glentoran.[1]
