Josh went on to make 18 JD Cymru North league appearances, where his consistency in defence brought him many man of the match nominations.

Mark Allen expressed his thoughts on Josh and his reward of his first contract for the club, “Delighted for Josh and his family signing his first contract with Airbus. It is testament to his hard work and dedication over the years in our academy that he has deserved this. When he played last year, he made a real contribution with some excellent performances and key goals. He has real potential to lead on and off the pitch and I am looking forward to that continuing this year.

It shows other players that there is a pathway through to the first team and Josh has followed a handful of others who have not just played but have been a regular starter. This is testament to the hard work of Rich Custato and the academy coaches in not just the U19’s, but you other age groups too”
