Lynch appeared in six of the opening eight rounds of the 1956 VFL season, while on permit from Coragulac.[1] He wasn't able to fully commit to Essendon due to his farm work and chose to remain in the Hampden Football League. A half back flanker, he played briefly for Colac, before returning to Coragulac in 1959. He won the Maskell Medal in 1961.[2]
His son, Paul Lynch, played for Geelong from 1993 to 2000.[3]
