Club career

Lyngby

Winther began his career with B 1903 in 2007 at age six.[3] He progressed through the club's academy to the under-13 team before making a move to the Lyngby youth team in 2014.[3]

Winther progressed through the Lyngby academy while playing matches for his primary school, Kildegård Privatskole in the Ekstra Bladet School Football Tournament in 2016.[4] He made his professional debut on 20 March 2019, replacing Jesper Christjansen in a 2–0 win over Silkeborg in the second-tier Danish 1st Division.[5] [6] He signed a five-year professional contract on 27 May 2019, after making his first appearances for the Lyngby first-team during the 2018–19 season, where Lyngby would also secure promotion to the Danish Superliga.[7] That season he made ten appearances. Winther soon established himself as a first-team regular in the Superliga, attracting interest from Dutch clubs Ajax and PSV,[8] as well as German and Austrian clubs RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg.[9]

FC Augsburg

On 5 October 2020, it was confirmed, that Winther had signed a deal until 2025 with German club FC Augsburg.[10] However, he would remain on loan at Lyngby for the 2020–21 season on a loan deal.

Winther returned to Denmark on 31 January 2023, joining Brøndby on a five-month loan deal.[11] He made his debut for the club on 19 February, starting in a 5–2 home win over AC Horsens.[12] He returned to Augsburg at the end of his loan, after making 15 appearances for Brøndby.[13]

On 29 January 2024, Augsburg announced that Winther would spend the remainder of the 2023–24 season on loan at Portuguese Primeira Liga club Estoril Praia.[14]

Hammarby

On 28 March 2024, Augsburg announced that Winther’s loan at Estoril had been prematurely terminated and he had been permanently transferred to Allsvenskan club Hammarby.[15]
