Career edit

College edit

From 2013 to 2014 Windster played college soccer in the United States for the Generals of Herkimer County Community College.[1] Over his two seasons with the team he made 38 appearances and scored 23 goals.[2][3] He was named an All-American for his division in 2014.[4] He transferred to the University of Charleston and played for the Golden Eagles from 2015 to 2016.[5] Over his two seasons with the club, he appeared in 44 total matches, scoring 13 goals.[6]

Semi-professional edit

While attending the University of Charleston, Windster also played semi-professional football for the Southern West Virginia King's Warriors of the Premier Development League.[7] He made two league appearances for the club during the 2015 season but failed to score a goal.[8]

The following season, Windster signed for AFC Ann Arbor of the National Premier Soccer League.[9] During the 2015–2016 season, he scored one goal in six league appearances.[10]

Professional edit

In 2017 Windster returned to Bonaire and signed for SV Juventus of the Bonaire League.[11] The next year he transferred to fellow-Bonaire club Real Rincon. He played with the club in the 2017 Copa ABC, including in a match against RKSV Scherpenheuvel of Curaçao.[12] In April 2018 the club qualified for the 2018 CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield by winning the 2017–18 Bonaire League. In the club's third match of the group stage, Windster scored a goal as Rincon drew Avenues United FC of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 2–2 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.[13] The draw ensured that Real became the first club from Bonaire to advance to the semi-finals of a CONCACAF tournament.[14] Real Rincon went on to win bronze in the tournament.[15]

International career edit

In December 2015, Windster was named to Bonaire’s provisional squad by head coach Ferdinand Bernabela in preparation for 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification.[16] However, Bonaire ultimately did not enter the competition.[17]

In September 2018 Windster was named to Bonaire's squad for the inaugural qualifying campaign for the newly established CONCACAF Nations League by head coach Emmanuel Alexis Cristori.[18] He went on to make his international debut on 9 September 2018 in the team's opening match against the Dominican Republic. He was named a starter in the eventual 0–5 defeat.[19]
