Joel Toby Senior (born 24 June 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back for Morecambe.[2]
Senior was born in Didsbury.[3] His brothers are also footballers, who played in non-league for Maine Road.[3]
Senior spent nearly a decade with Oldham Athletic, but was released at the age of 15 for being too small.[3] He later described it was the worst day of his life.[3] He began playing non-league football around Greater Manchester, initially with Sunday league team Hough End.[3] At the age of 16 he was playing for Maine Road and working two days a week in an engineering and design company.[3] He then made 68 appearances in all competitions for F.C. United of Manchester,[4] including 58 league appearances,[5] before moving to Curzon Ashton in February 2019,[6] for whom he made ten league appearances in National League North.[5]
In May 2019 he signed a 12-month contract with Premier League club Burnley, with the option of a further year, with the intention that he would initially play with their under-23 team.[3][7][8]
He was released by Burnley at the end of the 2019–20 season.[9] He later signed for Altrincham.[10] He signed for Carlisle United in January 2022.[11]
On 30 May 2023, after Carlisle won promotion to League One, Carlisle manager Paul Simpson announced that Senior would be released once his contract expired.[12] In June 2023 it was announced that he would sign for Morecambe on 1 July 2023.[13]
