Now into his third season at the club, Joe continues to impress as a solid and dependable defensive midfielder, having moved from his familiar role of centre back. He also managed to score a couple of goals.

A former Derby County player, he has come through the under 18 and under 23 ranks before being released at the end of last season.

He made one start for the Rams first team in the FA Cup tie at Chorley.
