Born in Ashford, Kent, Wynter joined Gillingham's youth system at under-15 level, and signed as a professional at the beginning of the 2008–09 season. After loan spells at Ramsgate and Dover Athletic, he made his league debut for Gillingham on 26 December 2009 in the home 1–0 defeat to Brentford.
Wynter rejoined former club Dover Athletic on a two-year deal in August 2010 after Gillingham decided not to renew his contract.

In June 2019, Wynter returned to Ramsgate.[3]
In July 2021, Wynter announced his retirement,[4] before returning to Hythe Town the following month.[5]
In July 2023, Wynter was appointed joint-manager of Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division side Lydd Town.[6] In August 2024, having not played a competitive fixture in two-and-a-half years due to a knee injury, Wynter made his return to playing.[7]
