Hinshelwood's father, Adam, is currently Worthing manager and a former Brighton defender. His great-grandfather Wally played for Chelsea, grandad Paul for Crystal Palace, great uncle Martin managed Brighton and cousin Harry Howell is a Brighton teammate.
Asked about having a footballing father, Jack told The Sun: "You can share a lot of experiences. Dad tells stories of when he was playing, my grandad, even my great grandad tells stories.
"My grandad was scrambling to find games that were actually on YouTube from when he played and there weren’t many, but luckily his goal was on there, so he showed me that a few times! Maybe the downside is some people think you’re where you are because of the name, but we all have a different journey and we’ve earned the right to be here.”
On receiving advice from family members, Jack also stated: “I think (ex-Brighton striker) Glenn Murray made a good point. He said when he used to go home to speak to his dad, he would give him advice on his playing and what he thinks he should do and he was a carpenter or something.
"Whereas when I speak to my dad who played at the top level and speak to my grandad, their insight and their opinion weighs heavy and goes a bit further.”
