Joe Bell

Joe Bell has been a consistent and influential figure in Norwegian football since joining Viking FK in 2020, developing into one of the Eliteserien's more technically accomplished central midfielders. A brief stint at Brøndby in Denmark broadened his Scandinavian experience. For the All Whites, Bell is a composed, ball-playing midfielder who provides the kind of positional discipline and passing range that New Zealand need to compete at international level. Now 27 and in his prime, his continued development in a competitive Nordic league makes him one of New Zealand's most reliable midfield options.
