Joshua Yorwerth (born 28 February 1995) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays for Barry Town United .

He spent time on loan with Hereford United during the club's final months before folding due to financial problems.

As a youngster he played youth football for local sides in Aberkenfig, where he was coached by his father Robert, and Pencoed and was a fan of Manchester United.

"[3] He eventually joined Southern Football League side Hereford United on loan in November 2014,[7] scoring on his debut in a 3–1 win over Frome Town.

[8] However the following month Hereford were forced into liquidation due to financial difficulties and they were removed from the league with their records for the season expunged.

[9] With four experienced centre-backs in the squad and competition from other youngsters Ben Nugent and Adedeji Oshilaja, Yorwerth found first team chances non-existent on his return to Cardiff and was not offered an extension to his contract in order to seek regular football elsewhere.

[10] After appearing in two under-21 fixtures for the club during a trial period,[11] Yorwerth joined fellow Championship side Ipswich Town on a two-year contract, with the option of a third, in 2015.

[28] However, days after his loan extension, Crawley decided to recall Yorwerth, after injuries to Mark Connolly and Joe McNerney.

"[35] He made his debut for the club as a substitute in place of Matt Godden during a 4–1 victory over Rochdale in Peterborough's second game of the season.

[39] Yorwerth feared failing the test would result in an automatic two-year ban, however the offence actually carried a maximum three-month sentence.

"[42] On 26 February 2019, Yorwerth's contract was terminated after he was issued a four-year ban for both evading an anti-doping test and taking cocaine.

[44][45] He subsequently entered rehab, began counselling sessions and planned to appeal the ban on mental health grounds.

"[6] Geraint Williams, who coached Yorwerth for the Wales under-21 side has described him as "comfortable on the ball" but added "his primary concern should be concentrating on his defending.
