Central midfielder Wintle signed from North West Counties Premier League side Alsager Town after impressing on an initial trial period in January 2015.

The 20-year-old was rewarded with an 18-month deal and gained experience playing in the club’s development squads, before earning his first call-up to the first team in November 2015, coming off the bench late on at Bradford.

He made a total of three appearances, all in November 2015, before a broken foot ended his season early.

Back fully fit for 2016/17, Wintle was brought into the side when Dave Artell took charge & made 19 appearances over the course of the season, notching his first pro goal in the 3-0 win over Leyton Orient at the end of the season.
