Career

Born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, Winn started his career after signing for Middlesbrough at the age of eight, before joining Oldham Athletic as a schoolboy.[1][3] He made his first team debut as an 83rd minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat at Swindon Town on 16 October 2004.[4] His second and final appearance of the 2004–05 season came as an 88th-minute substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth.[5][6] He was released by Oldham and signed for Conference National team York City on 29 July 2005 following a trial.[7][8] He suffered a hamstring injury in August and a shoulder injury in September.[9][10]

He joined Conference North team Stalybridge Celtic on loan on 17 March 2006 and played in nine games during the 2005–06 season.[11][12] He was released by York in May after failing to feature in the first team.[13][14] He signed for Stalybridge permanently on 7 July and he finished the 2006–07 season with 40 appearances and five goals.[15][16] He decided to leave the club at the end of the season, but in August eventually signed a new contract.[17] He played for Stalybridge in the 2008 Conference North play-off Final, which the team lost 1–0 to Barrow, and he finished the season with 2007–08 with 35 appearances and eight goals.[18]

He joined newly promoted Conference National side Barrow in July 2008.[19] After failing to secure a regular place, however, he joined Southport on a month's loan on 5 December, with a view to a permanent transfer.[20] He made his debut a day later in a 1–0 defeat at AFC Telford United and his first goals came after scoring twice in a 5–2 victory over Gainsborough Trinity on 20 December.[21] A permanent move to Southport took place on 21 January 2009 after he was signed for a fee of £2,500.[22][23] He played for Southport in their 2–1 defeat on aggregate to Gateshead in the Conference North play-off semi-final and he finished the 2008–09 season with 29 appearances and three goals for Southport.[21] He made 34 appearances and scored one goal for Southport as they won the Conference North title in the 2009–10 season, having been converted successfully from his regular central position into a right sided winger by manager Liam Watson.[24]

Winn signed for Gateshead on 1 November 2010, initially on loan with a fee of £2,500 agreed for a permanent transfer in January 2011.[25] Winn made his debut on 6 November 2010 as a substitute in the FA Cup against Notts County.[26] He scored his first goal for the club on 5 March 2011 in a 1–1 draw with Altrincham at Moss Lane.[27] Winn was made available for transfer by Gateshead on 4 May 2011,[28] and after a successful trial, signed for Farnborough on 10 July 2011 on a free transfer.[29]
