Quick winger, who joined the Alex from Aldershot in the summer of 2008 for a fee of £130,000 having helped the Shots to promotion back into the Football League. The London born youngster began his career with Watford as a youth player, and made his debut for the club whilst a member of their academy. His work was awarded with a professional contract ahead of the 2006/2007 season, but not long after the season had begun he joined Aldershot on loan to gain more experience.
Having been released at the end of the campaign, Joel then joined Aldershot on non-contract terms before making it a more permanent basis and played a big part in their promotion into the Football League.
His hard work, enthusiasm and skill caught the eye of the Alex scouts and in June 2008 he signed terms with the Alex in a deal that saw a then record breaking transfer fee for Aldershot. He started the 08/09 season in the side, with his skill and pace getting the better of a number of defences, he scored his first goal against Walsall in August 2008 with some clever football and a great strike. He followed that up with a last minute winner against Tranmere in January 2009, but failed to net again after falling out of favour. With his sights set high on making an impact on League Two, the 2009/10 season went slightly better for the youngster. He netted 10 goals last term, finishing the season as the club's third top goal scorer. Those goals including a brace over Accrington Stanley early on in the season.
