Biography

Arrives with International (Stadium) pedigree, having worn the white of Gateshead for a brief period late last season. Joined the Heed for the final two months of 2023-24 but suffered concussion on his debut at AFC Fylde, ending his participation earlier than expected after just one match. Began last term with Dorking Wanderers, leaving by mutual consent in March.

Young Joe got going as a young hopeful at Sheffield Wednesday and Bournemouth, taking in a loan spell at Poole Town while with the former prior to making his Senior footballing bow not too far away from there, at Winchester City. Havant & Waterlooville gave him the opportunity to step up to National League South but it was a transfer to Bognor Regis Town that saw his stock really rise; later turning a temporary move into a permanent one and duly landing a further shift (back) up the footballing ladder to then-Step One Chesterfield.

First rocked up at Dorking in January ‘23 and, aside from a loan at Weymouth, stayed in Surrey until upping sticks to the other end of the country the following March.
