Career & Clubs

Club career

Luton Town

McIndoe joined Luton Town as a youth in 1996 and was an integral part of an FA Youth Cup run, losing to eventual winners Leeds United in the semi-finals. Managed by coach John Moore, the team also won the youth league as well as the South East Counties League Cup final beating West Ham United on 8 May 1998. He made his professional home debut aged 18 against Burnley in 1998 winning 1–0. Over the course of the next two seasons McIndoe made 47 appearances. His talent was never in question but his off-field problems with alcohol addiction meant in December 1999, he was entered into the Priory. After discussions with manager Lennie Lawrence it was decided a new club would be the best for his career. Arsenal legend Paul Merson became McIndoe's sponsor helping him on his road to recovery. Former teammate Matthew Upson also played a huge part in advising McIndoe who would now focus on being the best athlete he could be and has been teetotal ever since.

Hereford United

In July 2000 Hereford United manager Graham Turner signed McIndoe on a two-year contract. He made 30 appearances for the Bulls scoring 2 goals. His performances quickly put him on the radar of other Conference teams where a bidding war began between Boston United and Yeovil Town for McIndoe's signature. Hereford United eventually sold him to Yeovil Town for £25,000 retaining a 25% sell-on clause.

Coaching career

Gretna 2008

On 24 May 2022 McIndoe was appointed as sporting director and assistant manager of Gretna 2008. After being given the caretaker manager role, in his first match, he led Gretna 2008 in a 3–1 win against Edinburgh University in the first round of the Scottish Cup. He was appointed as manager on 20 September 2022. McIndoe went on to win more games than the club's three previous seasons combined, which, in turn, steered Gretna 2008 away from relegation. He and his coaching staff left Gretna 2008 on 24 April 2023 to manage in the higher divisions of Scottish football.

Edinburgh City

McIndoe was appointed manager of Scottish League One club Edinburgh City on 9 October 2023. In his first five games in charge McIndoe won two, lost two and drew one taking 7 points out of a possible 15; including a 3–0 win against Alloa F.C. Previously to McIndoe's appointment, the Citizens hadn't won a match in over 190 days. Eight weeks into his tenure, Edinburgh City's directors announced the club had run out of money and that any player wishing to leave the club could do so immediately; which in turn saw 20 senior players depart mid-season in December 2023. Following a disciplinary tribunal Edinburgh City received a six-point deduction by the SPFL for failing to pay their players and breaching SPFL Rules and Regulations. The chairman John Dickson publicly apologised to McIndoe and his coaching staff for putting them in this position, commending his character and…

Business career

In 2011 McIndoe became the owner of Stamp private members club on 79 Oxford Street, London. He was also director of Huxley of London, a concierge service based in Mayfair. McIndoe was also involved in London Elite F.C. which was aimed at developing young talented footballers. In October 2014, McIndoe was declared bankrupt with debts of £3 million [5]. Several national newspapers have allegedly linked McIndoe to an 'investment scheme' but McIndoe has always strongly denied any allegation of wrongdoing. In December 2017, Scotland Yard completely cleared McIndoe in relation to the allegation in the national newspapers.
