Windsor scored twice in thirteen games for Grimsby including a goal in a 3–1 victory over Cheltenham Town, but after falling out of favour with manager Ian Holloway, his season-long loan was cut short on 19 December 2020, shortly before The Mariners 1–0 win over rivals Scunthorpe United.[11]

On 31 January 2022, Windsor joined League Two club Carlisle United on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[16] [17]

Windsor was not retained by West Bromwich Albion at the end of the 2021–22 season.[18]

Windsor signed for Chippenham Town on 3 February 2023.[19] He moved to Chester on 24 November 2023.[20]
