Career Move to South Australia and injury (2013–2016) Winter originally came from Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, playing for the territory's representative team the ACT Comets before he was brought to South Australia for the 2013–14 season.

He made his Twenty20 debut for the club in BBL04 when a number of the club's bowlers were unavailable, being called up for international duty. He opened the bowling but only bowled two overs. He made his second appearance for the Renegades later in the season when teammate Peter Siddle was called up to play a Test match. and when he did recover from the torn muscle he tore it again trying to return for the Renegades. At the end of the season he was dropped from South Australia's contract list.

Comeback (2016–present) Despite no longer having a contract with South Australia, Winter stayed in Adelaide, recovering from his injury while studying a Bachelor of International Studies and Politics at the University of Adelaide. Winter then spent the English summer playing for Plumtree Cricket Club in the Nottinghamshire Premier League taking 31 wickets at an average of 17.42. He bounced back in the 2016–17 season, playing premier grade cricket for the university and being named the team's club champion for the season.
