Career

Winkler began his career with, Unterhaching who he joined from Bayern Munich's youth team in 2007, and made his 3. Liga debut four years later, as a substitute for the injured Jonas Hummels in a 4–1 defeat to Kickers Offenbach. He suffered an injury himself three games later, which ruled him out of action for almost two years, before he left Unterhaching at the end of the 2012–13 season. He signed for Wacker Burghausen II shortly afterwards, where he would spend one season before joining SpVgg Neckarelz of the Regionalliga Südwest in July 2014. Later he signed again for SpVgg Unterhaching.

On 4 January 2023, Winkler signed a 1.5-year contract with Hallescher FC.

On 24 July 2023, Winkler moved to Neuchâtel Xamax in Switzerland.
