Career

Born in Kinnelon, New Jersey, Joyce played high school soccer at Don Bosco Preparatory High School in Ramsey, New Jersey. [2]

Joyce made his debut for Southend United away to Crewe Alexandra, in the 4–3 win in League One on September 20, 2008. He stepped in for the injured Steve Mildenhall, who was declared to be out for up to four weeks after damage to his knee in the previous game. [3] He came on as a half-time sub in Southend's 3–1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on March 10, 2009, after Steve Mildenhall sustained a minor knee injury. Joyce also started Southend's next game, in the 1–0 victory against Hereford United on 14 March.

Southend United and Joyce mutually agreed to terminate his contract at Roots Hall and on March 9, 2010, he signed for Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids. [4] He played his first MLS match on August 28, 2010, and helped the Rapids to a 3–0 victory over Houston Dynamo.

Joyce was released by Colorado on November 16, 2012. [5] He entered the 2012 MLS Re-Entry Draft in December 2012 and became a free agent after he went undrafted in both rounds of the draft.
