FC Basel was founded on 15 November 1893 and Linder joined the club about two years later, during their 1895–96 season. Linder played his first game for the club in the home game on 23 November 1895 as Basel played their first ever game against Anglo-American Club Zürich.[1]

Linder stayed with the team for three seasons and during this time he played 13 games for Basel without scoring a goal.[note Scorers 1][2]
