The 31-year-old joins the Clarets after leaving National League side Ebbsfleet United.

The defender started his career with hometown club Aldershot Town and made over 100 appearances for the Shots from 2004 to 2010, playing in the National League and helping them win promotion to SkyBet League Two.

He also spent time out on loan at Chertsey Town, Staines Town and Salisbury City during his time with Aldershot.

After leaving the EBB Stadium, Winfield signed for then-League Two side Wycombe Wanderers where he won another promotion, this time to League One in his debut season with the Chairboys.

He then signed for Shrewsbury Town in 2013 where he stayed for one season as they were relegated from League One.

He signed for then-League Two side York City at the end of the 2013/14 season after coming to an agreement with Shrewsbury to cancel his contract early.

He made 51 appearances for the Minstermen, also spending a short spell out on loan at fellow League Two rivals AFC Wimbledon during the 2014/15 season, where he made 7 appearances.

Upon leaving York at the end of the 2015/16 season, he signed for then-National League South side Ebbsfleet and captained them to the National League South play-off final that season and ultimately scored the winning goal against Chelmsford in the 76th minute to win the game and send Fleet to the National League.

In total, Winfield made just under 100 appearances for the Fleet where he guided them to National League safety two seasons in-a-row, coming close to promotion to League Two in their debut season, coming up short in the play-off semi-final against Tranmere Rovers.
