Ricky Downes, the manager of Bardag FC Yellows, said: "To say that myself and the club are devastated is an understatement, we are absolutely in bits.
Joel was a wonderful young lad who had the world at his feet.
He was a very talented footballer and had ambitions of playing professionally. I think he had a future in the sport and could have played for a living."
