He remained attached to the club into 2019.

Horsham YMCA
After scoring on his pre-season home debut, which manager Peter Buckland would rank as "one of very best" that he had seen scored at their ground, Lindsey made his competitive bow for Horsham YMCA on 3 August 2019 as they lost their Southern Combination League - Premier Division opener to Little Common. He would feature a further 7 times before departing *The YM*. He also appeared for their under-23s, netting 1 goal (versus Lancing U23) in 7 games.

He scored a hat-trick on his competitive debut for *Rangers* on 11 January, helping his side to an 8–1 victory away at Ferring. Another strike followed next time out against Montpelier Villa on 25 January, which preceded fifth goal occurring on 7 March during a 6–1 beating of Rottingdean Village - with fell just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic-enforced curtailment. 2020–21 was interrupted for the same reason, after Lindsey had scored singular goals against Montpelier Villa, Rottingdean Village, Charlwood and Worthing Town, as well as claiming a double against Bosham alongside a goal in each of the two meetings with Upper Beeding.

After making his competitive bow on 15 August against Coggeshall Town in the Isthmian League - North Division, Lindsey scored his third and final goal for HTU in a league defeat away to Dereham Town on 28 August. Having made 10 appearances across July and August, Lindsey would feature just 11 times between September and the season's end in April 2022.
