Let's hope he just did multiple step overs into the setting sun.

Look solid in his fleeting appearances for us. Definitely worth a contract at league level for someone. Good luck to him.

I liked Josh & thought he did well in the games he played for us particularly when he was in the oppositions half & attacking down that wing.

Hope he gets a contract with a decent club. I think he warrants that.

I very much doubt it, he was there last season, played 14 times

It would have been nice to have seen him having a run of a few games together.

I have a friend at work who is a st holder at Hull, I mentioned him and his response was that Hull Fans loved him and then he disappeared with some mystery "illness" and when he returned he was loaned out?
could it be that he has some serious health issues that haven't been disclosed meaning he isn't able to complete a full season or an ongoing illness that leads to long absences? seems a shame as he certainly brightened the game with his step overs!

Grant had mentioned his “illness” when he came in, and that this was a chance for him to gain some fitness whilst helping us over a tricky period. I think Grant said he had been out for a full season, then let go by Hull.

I thought Josh contributed well in the few appearances he had for us.
He certainly made a positive impact when he came off the bench in the FA Cup at Kettering.

Good luck Josh.

from wikipedia

i think this bit (and the rest) is worth a post here --  got a feeling he could have made it in rugby union

Personal life
Emmanuel is of Nigerian descent.[4] Growing up in Harlow, Essex, Emmanuel supported Arsenal and was raised as a Christian, crediting it for force in his life.[39] Emmanuel revealed that he used to play rugby when he was young and was even offered a trial at Saracens but made it clear he wanted to be a footballer and wouldn't consider rugby as an alternative.[4]

seems like a nice bloke

He had a stroke. That’s what kept him out of the game for 18 months.

Strange time for strokes around that time

If they play him as a wing back he’ll cause carnage in that division

I liked him. However I've been so impressed with Sterry this season he wasn't going to get in ahead of him but did very well when asked

Agreed Les.

As an aside, just glancing at the current situation in the National League I noticed Aidan Barlow scored Rochdale's fourth in a 4-1 win against Wealdstone on Saturday.
