Joseph Colley is a defender from Sweden who joined in the summer of 2015 from IF Brommapojkarna in his homeland. He’s a right-sided, powerful defender, comfortable also playing on the left, who likes to bring the ball out of defence.
In his debut season as a scholar, Joseph was a regular for the youth team as they won the south section of the league for the second year running. He made his FA Youth Cup debut as a substitute in the semi-final against Blackburn Rovers and made three appearances in the UEFA Youth League as our Under-19s retained their European title.
Colley has represented Sweden Under-17s, captaining the side at the European Championship finals for that age group in May 2016 and then featuring for the Under-19s in the same tournament the following summer. In 2016/17, he split his time between the youth team and development squad, appearing twice in our successful FA Youth Cup campaign.
In summer 2016, the defender signed a first professional contract that commits him to the club until 2019.
