| AFL PLAYING CAREER | YEARS | GAMES |

| NORTH MELBOURNE FC | 2006-2009 | 65 games |
| HAWTHORN FC | 2010-2017 | 160 games |
| PREMIERSHIP PLAYER | 2013, 2014, 2015 | |

Senior Coach Joe Carmody said the signing is ideal to complement the existing playing list.
Josh is committed to helping our young group develop at Ballarat. He is a ripper bloke who will fit in perfectly with our group.
Significantly both of Josh’s Best & Fairest honors came in premiership years. It is little wonder Josh is regarded as one of the very best defenders of his generation.
Please join the Ballarat Football Netball Club coaches and committee in welcoming Josh and his partner Ashley to our club for what is shaping as a very exciting 2021 season
