Joe swapped his native New Zealand for The Hawthorns when he penned terms in September 2024. 

The shot-stopper signed a two-year deal with the Baggies, with a further 12-month option in the club's favour. 

He joined up with Richard Beale's Premier League 2 team having acquired plenty of senior minutes back home. 

Wallis played between the sticks for Western Springs and Auckland City, and the latter was where the goalkeeper enjoyed success. He was part of the squad which won two OFC (Oceania Football Confederation) Champions League trophies, while also lifting the same honour at U19/20 level. 

Joe has represented New Zealand at U19s level and made his debut during a 10-0 win over Papa New Guinea in the 2024 OFC Championship for that age group. Wallis has also been away with his country's U20s team. 

But with the next step of his development coming in new territory, the keeper will be looking to develop his attributes under the guidance of PDP goalkeeping coach Boaz Myhill, who will look to prepare Wallis for the next steps of his career.
