Sophia Winkler (born 29 June 2003) is a German football goalkeeper for SGS Essen.[1]
Winkler began her career at SUS Concordia Flaesheim, before switching to the SGS Essen youth ranks at the start of 2017.
In the 2020–21 Bundesliga season, Winkler made her debut for Essen's senior team.[2] Having established herself as the main goalkeeper in 2021, the German kept seven clean sheets during the subsequent campaign.[3] Winkler was rewarded for her 2022–23 performances with a contract extension until 2026.[4] [5]
