Playing career

Joyce started his career as a junior with Barnsley in 1979 and went on to make more than 350 appearances for them. He then moved onto Scunthorpe, before hanging up his boots at Carlisle in 1998.[1]

Coaching career

Joyce arrived in July 2006 at Newcastle to become Academy Manager, having earlier worked as the PFA's Head of Coaching.[1] [2]

In May 2008 it was rumored that Peter Taylor was being lined up as new director of Newcastle United's academy and thereby replacing Joyce but Taylor decided to become manager of Wycombe Wanderers instead.[3]
