Highlights. . . Joe won silver in the all-around, on parallel bars and on rings at the 2021 Men’s British Championships in Cardiff in September 2021 – and was then selected to compete for Great Britain at the Artistic World Championships in Japan the following month. Then in November 2021 Joe was back in Cardiff helping Wales bag team gold at the Northern Europeans, also winning individual all-around, pommel horse and floor gold medals. At the 2023 British Championships in Liverpool, he took bronze on high bar.

Birmingham 2022: Joe successfully qualified for the individual all-around final in 12^th with a total score of 77.050 across his six pieces, but an ongoing shoulder problem meant he was withdrawn from the final, with teammate Jacob Edwards stepping in. Joe, though, did take his place in the floor final, finishing 8^th.
