Joe Burnell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Burnell (born October 10, 1980) is an English professional footballer recently released by Northampton Town in Football League One.
Burnell started his career with Bristol City and he became an integral part of the midfield set-up at Ashton Gate. His stirring displays were enough to earn him a long-term contract and a short spell as the club's captain.
Burnell joined Wycombe Wanderers in July 2004 after Tony Adams' summer clearout which saw the departure of Michael Simpson, Dannie Bulman, Steve Brown and Darren Currie. Burnell was hoping to gain a regular first team place and after a season blighted by injury and illness he formed a midfield trio with Matt Bloomfield and Keith Ryan.
Burnell was also a regular under John Gorman and consequently followed his manager when he left Wycombe to join Northampton Town in July 2006.
On 21 April 2008, it was announced that he would be released at the end of the 2007/8 season.
