After playing for the Second XI for five seasons and playing a single first-class match in 2000 for a First-Class Counties XI against the New Zealand A side,[3] Joseph made his professional debut for Kent County Cricket Club at the end of the 2005 season, having been cleared to play for them in April 2004.[2][3] In 2008 he took 55 County Championship wickets and was selected to tour India with the England performance squad.[4] He left Kent following the 2011 season and subsequently joined Leicestershire on a short-term deal.[5] Joseph re-signed for Kent in April 2014 playing in six county championship matches during the season.[6]
Joseph retired from top-class professional cricket after his second stint with Kent, playing club cricket with Hertford Cricket Club for a time before spending time as the performance coach of Cricket Namibia. In March 2018 he moved to Norfolk to become player-coach of Ashmanhaugh and Barton Wanderers Cricket Club, playing in Division Two of the Norfolk Alliance league.[4] In 2022 he began working as the bowling coach for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, spending two years with the team before moving to take up the same role with Kent in December 2023.[7]
