AN exciting and attacking midfielder, Joe is a product of the famed West Ham academy joining the club at the age of eight and signing a first professional deal in 2015, quickly earning a new three-year deal in 2016.
Joe made his Hammers bow in the League Cup in an 8-0 win over Macclesfield Town in September 2018 before heading out on loan to gain first team experience with Northampton Town in January 2019.
Impressing in West Ham’s U23s side he caught the eye of former Brewers boss Nigel Clough who paid a nominal fee to bring Joe to the Pirelli on a two-and-a-half-year contract in January 2020.
The 2020/21 season saw Joe establish himself in the Brewers side with a real eye for goal, dominating the Goal Of The Season award with a number of stunning long range efforts, most notably a 35-yard stunner at Portsmouth to take the award, before impressing again the following campaign and signing a new two-year contract in 2022.
