Joe Burnell
| Date of birth | 10 October 1980 |
| Place of birth | Bristol |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 70 kg |
| Height | 1.78 m |
| Position | Defender/Midfielder |
Having generally played in a midfield role for Bristol City in 1999-2000, a spate of injuries enabled Joe to feature in defence in 2000-01.
A tough-tackling player who is comfortable at either right back or in the centre of the defence, he produced some stirring displays and was deservedly rewarded with a long-term contract at Ashton Gate.
He joined Wycombe Wanderers in July 2004 with a two-year contract.
Joe joined Northampton Town in July 2006 in a two-year deal.
