Career

Joel joined the Exeter City Academy at U11's after being spotted at one of the club's development centres. He started a scholarship with the club in the summer of 2016.

After progressing through the academy, Randall made his first-team debut in November 2017 during Exeter City's EFL Trophy tie against Chelsea U21s, replacing Jack Sparkes in the 62nd minute.[2] Randall moved on loan to Taunton Town in January 2018,[3] making his first appearance for the Peacocks in a 1–0 win over Swindon Supermarine.[4] That same month, Randall was offered a professional contract by Exeter for the following season.[5]

In July 2018, Randall joined Southern League Premier Division South side Tiverton Town on an initial six-month loan deal.[6] Howevere, he was recalled in November 2018. After being recalled by Exeter, Randall appeared for the club in their Checkatrade Trophy game with Bristol Rovers, netting his first goal for Exeter after stepping off the bench. Randall was an unused substitute two other times during the season's competition. In December 2018, he was loaned out to Bideford A.F.C. for the rest of the season.[7]

On 1 August 2019, he was loaned out to Weston-super-Mare for six months.[7] However, on 11 November 2019, Randall was recalled due to an injury crisis, to make up the numbers on the bench.[8]

On 6 December 2019, Randall was loaned out to Weymouth for one month.[9]

When his loan spell with Weymouth ended he returned to Exeter, and made his league debut on 12 January 2020 as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Cambridge United.
