Perch: “Joey will never take a backward step from anything, he will always face up to a challenge.
“He’s going to be a vital part of our team this season, we need him to be on top form and he’ll be one of the main men to lead from the front.
“He’s got a steely determination that marks him out as a special talent, and he uses all of that to take the flak, forget about it and then do something to put it right.”
“Joey’s on good form and this will help.”
