Utility player
Brindley made his Rotherham debut in the opening game of the 2013–14 season, starting in a 3–3 draw with Crewe Alexandra. During the first few weeks of the season, Brindley held down the right-back spot following an injury to Utility player Mark Bradley, who provided competition for the position across the season, and on-loan Newcastle United right-back James Tavernier.
