Career

After playing youth football for Swindon Town and Southampton,[4] Windsor began his senior career with Cirencester Town.[5][6]

After signing for West Bromwich Albion in June 2019,[7][8][9] he spent loan spells back at Cirencester,[4] and also with Taunton Town.[10][11] In October 2020 he moved on loan to Grimsby Town.[12]

Windsor scored twice in thirteen games for Grimsby including a goal in a 3–1 victory over Cheltenham Town, but after falling out of favour with manager Ian Holloway, his season-long loan was cut short on 19 December 2020, shortly before The Mariners 1–0 win over rivals Scunthorpe United.[13]

On 5 January 2021, Windsor signed for Newport County on loan until the end of the 2020–21 season.[14][15] He made his debut for Newport as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 League Two draw against Cheltenham Town on 19 January 2021.[16] However, on 1 February 2021 Windsor's loan at Newport was cancelled.[17]

On 31 January 2022, Windsor joined League Two club Carlisle United on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[18][19]

Windsor was not retained by West Bromwich Albion at the end of the 2021–22 season.[20]

Windsor signed for Chippenham Town on 3 February 2023.[21] He moved to Chester on 24 November 2023.[22]

On 14 February 2024, Windsor joined Marine until the end of the season.[23]

In October 2024, Windsor joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Leek Town.[24]
