“I heard about the club’s interest a couple of weeks ago and, from there, it’s been a really smooth process.

Coasters boss Chris Beech added: “I’m thrilled that Joe has decided to (join) the club.
“He took over the mantle in Burnley’s U21s as the top scorer and after watching him play from a younger scholar – knowing insight from Tony Philiskirk (Burnley U18 boss) and making contact with David Longwell (Burnley Academy manager) at Burnley – I’m really pleased that both they and us can offer him this opportunity for his further development.
“He provides support to our attacking options, supporting our current players as we look to enhance our goals scored column.”
