Joe has come through the club’s development centre as a regular since he was 15 in the Under-18’s under the guidance of Josh Hurst and his team of coaches.

The young centre back joined John Rendell’s squad and made his first team debut pre-season and has gone on to figure in twelve 1st Southern League and Cup matches, making five starts.
