Gravesend-born midfielder who was the son of legendary Margate manager Chris Kinnear and captained Gravesend & Northfleet's Under-16's side during the 2005/06 campaign. Chris also had a short spell on Margate's books during the season.
He was a substitute for a 1-0 home defeat against Chelmsford in the Isthmian League Premier Division on 5.11.05 and a 1-0 defeat against visitors Dartford in the FA Trophy on 12.11.05 but his father elected not to use Chris in either game.
After his spell at Hartsdown Park Chris continued playing for Gravesend & Northfleet's Under-16's for the remainder of the campaign and during the 2006/07 season he was selected for Kent whilst still a Fleet player. Chris also represented his county in a tournament in July 2007.
Gravesend & Northfleet became Ebbsfleet United for the 2007/08 campaign and Chris was part of their full-time PASE development scheme that season. In May 2008 he travelled with the Fleet squad for the FA Trophy Final at Wembley which they won by beating Torquay 1-0 and Chris was still with the club during 2008/09.
He had a spell with Tonbridge during the 2009/10 campaign and on 26.1.10 Chris played as they beat visitors Ramsgate 2-1 in a Kent Senior Cup tie.
In the summer of 2010 he signed for Erith & Belvedere and Chris played regularly in the Kent League for them during the 2010/11 season.
He moved on to Corinthian, also of the Kent League, for the 2011/12 campaign and Chris also started 2012/13 there. By then he was studying at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
On 16.10.12 Chris made a one-off appearance for Margate when he came on as a substitute early in the second half of a 4-0 home defeat against Metropolitan Police in the Isthmian League Cup and his father was in charge of Margate at the time.
Chris then returned to Corinthian and later in the 2012/13 season he captained the England Universities team in internationals against Wales and Scotland. Chris was the first University of Kent student ever to play for the side.
In July 2013 he played for his father's Dover side in several friendlies and Corinthian manager Matt Longhurst told the Kentish Football website "Chris Kinnear has gone training with Dover at the moment. I don't know whether he'll end up at Dover. Obviously he's dad's the manager there which is fair enough. He just felt he wanted to make at least one step up. I'm a little bit disappointed (that he's left us) but having said that it gives some of the younger ones to come through and play games."
In August 2013 Dover confirmed that Chris had been registered to play in Conference South matches during 2013/14.
