Winterstein previously played for Wakefield Trinity and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the NRL. Winterstein made his first grade debut for Canterbury-Bankstown in Round 13 2008 at ANZ Stadium against the Newcastle Knights.

Winterstein later signed a two-year deal at Super League newcomers Widnes.

In October 2013, Winterstein signed a one-year deal with the Bradford Bulls while he was playing in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup with Samoa.[9][10] He was released by mutual consent in January 2014, without having appeared for the club.[11][12]
