1) He signed his first professional deal not that long ago
Joseph’s rise to first-team football has been pretty rapid. He was only offered a professional contract during the 2018/19 season; a campaign where he finished second top scorer for the Under 18s.
After putting pen to paper on the new deal, the forward went from strength to strength, scoring goals for the Under 18s in the FA Youth Cup. He scored four in an 8-1 win over Croydon, before getting another in the fourth round as the Latics shocked Tottenham, securing a 2-0 victory. He then bagged another in a 2-0 win over Birmingham before his team were knocked out of the competition by Manchester United at the quarter-final stages.
