To gain playing time, Lyne was loaned to Walsall and Shrewsbury Town.

Lyne would go on to make a further sixty-four appearances for the club, scoring eleven goals. On January 1993, Cambridge United manager Ian Atkins swooped for Lyne in an effort to bolster a squad battling against relegation from Division 1, making his debut in a 2–0 win over Grimsby Town.

Lyne moved to Hereford in July 1994 on a free transfer, scoring five goals in eighty appearances. He was a favourite under manager Greg Downs, before leaving for Northampton Town. in 1996.
