Joel quickly became a regular in Sydney’s starting 11, as he was part of the run-on side in 25 of the team's 26 regular season games. He played a key role in defeating Melbourne City in the 2019-20 A-League grand final to claim the championship.
He had another season of regular football for Sydney FC in 2020-21, meeting Melbourne City once again in the A-League grand final but were defeated 3-1.
