Josh played most of his junior rugby at Stand Off with Chorley Panthers up to U15s then moved to Blackbrook for U16s season playing at centre and helping Blackbrook win the NWC premier league title that year. He then stopped playing amateur rugby to join Saints U18s squad with a number of other Blackbrook teammates inc. Joe Bate, Marcus Baines, Danny Jones, Ste Yates and Callum Welsby.
All these lads went on the Saints tour to Australia in 2009 where Josh played in the centres in all 4 games.
For me Josh never had outright pace to be a top draw centre. His future lies in the second row or loose forward in my opinion.
I'm sure Rogues will add to my thoughts!
