Andreas Hinkel, a hefty lad at 6ft tall weighing 11st 13lb, was born in Germany on 26 March 1982. He spent his career at the back, primarily as a Right Back.
He hung up his boots with Freiburg in Germany. The 2011 - 2012 season saw him take to the pitch for a final seven appearences in the first team.

A similar story in 2008 - 2009 saw him nab 32 appearances. He was slightly less prevalent in the 2007 - 2008 season, his debut at Celtic, with 16 skelps of the ball, but popped in a goal for good measure.

The majority of Hinkel's career was with Stuttgart in his homeland. He made a decent 30+ appearances in three seasons between 2002 and 2005, with a solitary goal in the 2004 - 2005 period. The 2003 - 2004 season saw him in action 28 times, while his debut season in 2000 - 2001 saw a more modest ten games under his belt.
