Nomination Details
Reason for nomination this round:
Joshua had a breakout season for the Bats in 2021 playing every game in the premier division, he featured in the UTS best players in six of the 10 games last season and was runner up in the club Best & Fairest award. Joshua once again showed great endeavour, run and carry in the first game of season 2022 against IWM and was named in UTS’ best players.
Coach quote on Performance:
“Josh continues to work hard at his craft and this has enabled him to become a quality Prems player for the Bats. He listens to instruction and plays with a team first attitude, whilst using his pace and fitness to impact games individually. Whilst he has taken great strides in his football of late, he still has plenty of upside and I look forward to seeing him achieve his full potential.”
