Josh is a good attacking player and someone we’ve watched consistently throughout the last season for Maidenhead.

He has had a taste of a professional environment at Norwich, and in Scotland, and that will prepare him really well for what is next.

He is someone who always wants to take the opportunity on. He is as quick with the ball as he is without it, and we also have a lot of time to improve certain aspects of his game.

Josh Coley spoke to the Club website about his move

I’m really happy to be here and get the deal sorted.

I was made aware of the club’s interest in around March time so when I came back in [to the Maidenhead squad] I had to get my performances up.

I had a Zoom call with Matt and it was pretty clear the way things were going, and it my choice was made from there. It was really easy for me because this is a great club. It’s a great opportunity to express myself here.

The way the manager has been since our first conversation, I knew this was right for me.
