Career
College
Joseph moved to Brooklyn, New York with his family as a teenager. He played college soccer at Bryant & Stratton College[1], and St. John's University, New York, graduating in 2002.
Professional
Joseph was drafted fourteenth overall in the 2002 MLS Superdraft by New England Revolution, but did not join the team until the 2003 season, having spent much of 2002 searching for a club overseas, and later playing for the New York Freedom of USL D-3 Pro League. Upon joining the Revolution, Joseph quickly proved himself to be one of the most talented defensive midfielders in the league. He became the Revolution captain in 2005 and was named to the MLS Best XI after the season.
In August 2006 Joseph had a $1 million offer from Celtic FC but MLS rejected the offer.[2] In January 2007 another offer of $2 million from Celtic was also rejected by MLS.
In 2008, he started, and played the whole entire game of the MLS All-Star Game vs West Ham United. The All-stars won that game 3-2, making them 5-0 all time against foreign teams.
International
Joseph is member of the Grenada national team, for whom he has played in the Caribbean Cup, the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and in World Cup qualifiers.[3]
