John Thomas Hinton (1860 – 4 February 1931)[1] was a British international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Cardiff Rugby Football Club and international rugby for Wales. He was an agent for the Royal Liver Assurance Company.[2]
Hinton was chosen for just a single international cap, which was awarded in the final game of the 1884 Home Nations Championship in a game against Ireland. Hinton was brought in as a replacement for George Lockwood Morris and was one of three new players brought into the pack; the others being Llanelli's Buckley Roderick and Samuel Goldsworthy of Swansea. Wales won the match by a drop-goal and two tries to nil; but despite the win Hinton was not reselected for the following tournament.
