Career

Wintle began his career with North West Counties Football League side Alsager Town and then joined Crewe Alexandra in January 2015, making his professional debut on 14 November 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 League One defeat at Bradford City.[3][4] He scored his first league goal on 22 April 2017, at Gresty Road against Leyton Orient.[5]

After playing in the opening 10 games of the 2017–18 season, Wintle was injured in the 11th, a home defeat by Carlisle United, sustaining a stress fracture of his tibia that ruled him out "for months".[6] He returned to first team action in January 2018, and scored his second league goal at Swindon Town on 27 January.[7]

After a difficult first half of the 2018–19 season that saw Crewe hover around the relegation zone, manager David Artell switched to a 4-3-3 formation which coincided with an upturn in both the team and Wintle's form. Crewe's post-Christmas run included victories over high-flying Lincoln City, Milton Keynes Dons, Carlisle United, Colchester United and Mansfield Town. This pulled Crewe Alexandra away from the relegation scrap, and gave the club an outside chance of a play-off push. Wintle was considered one of the club's best performers during this run.[8]
