Career
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.[1] Having established herself as the main goalkeeper in 2021, the German kept seven clean sheets during the subsequent campaign. Winkler was rewarded for her 2022–23 performances with a contract extension until 2026.[2][3]
During the first half of the 2023–24 season, Winkler experienced a streak of three consecutive matches where she kept a clean sheet, coming close to the consecutive clean sheet minutes record of Kim Sindermann.[4]
On 17 February 2025, Winkler signed a four-years contract with Eintracht Frankfurt.[5]
