Joe comes from an interesting family here in Christchurch.
It tends to be forgotten that Joe is essentially a South Islander and a Christchurch lad.
He was born in England but emigrated with his parents aged four in 2003 to NZ, his family settling first in Wanaka and now for several years in Christchurch.
Joe attended Christ's College for most of his schooling (before leaving Christchurch aged 15 for the Wellington Phoenix Academy), represented Canterbury through the age groups at national futsal tournaments winning national titles, MVP's and golden boots:

Joe also played the eleven man game at junior level for Ferrymead Bays and then Nomads here in Christchurch.
Joe's family have a strong involvement in the arts in Christchurch.
His dad Richard is founder (2003) and head of leading Christchurch video production company Shuriken who make commercials and music videos. He is an Art History graduate of Cambridge University and was a leading maker of music videos for artists in the UK:
