“Joe is a great signing for us and is as much of an all-action midfield player you can get. He has the ability to keep his side in possession, as well as add a goal scoring threat and brings a physicality in how he imposes himself in defensive duals. Joe plays to win and will fit our culture very well and compliment the outstanding midfield group we have assembled over the past 2 seasons”.
