Jason Tindall

Jason James Tindall (born 15 November 1977) is an English football player. He is currently assistant manager under old team-mate Eddie Howe at Bournemouth.

Playing career

Tindall was an apprentice at Charlton Athletic, but was released and joined Bournemouth on a free transfer in 1998 as a midfielder, becoming a regular in the side after being switched to central defence when Sean O'Driscoll replaced Mel Machin as manager.

On 24 April 2004, in a 1–0 win at Peterborough United F.C., Tindall made his last appearance for the Cherries for 18 months, when a knee injury recurred. After missing the entire 2004/5 season, he resorted to surgery in the United States with specialist surgeon Dr Richard Steadman, returning to action on 2 January 2006 as an 86th-minute substitute in the Cherries 1–1 draw with Scunthorpe United F.C. at Dean Court.

Released by Bournemouth in the summer of 2006, after a trial at Wycombe Wanderers, Tindall joined local side Weymouth as a utility player.

Tindall was re-registered as a Bournemouth player on Tuesday 24 February 2009, three years after his last appearance, coming on as a substitute against Dagenham and Redbridge.
