The promising young defender featured on the bench for the Moors on several occasions last season after impressing in their academy ranks and he was handed a first team debut against Barnet in the FA Trophy.

He also played 45 minutes against Birmingham City in the National League club's first pre-season friendly last week before linking up with the Glassboys to feature as a 'trialist' against Tamworth on Tuesday night.

Joel also enjoyed a spell with MFL Premier Division side Studley FC last season too, making twenty appearances for the Bees and played against the Stourbridge youth team in the Joel Richards Memorial Cup Final at Walsall in May.

His loan move enables him to gain more valuable senior football experience and we hope he enjoys a happy and successful stint in our ranks.
