Josh Stokes (born 30 April 2004) is an English professional football player who plays as a winger for National League club Aldershot Town, on loan from EFL Championship club Bristol City.
Stokes played for the Ipswich Town Academy, but was released aged 16. Following this, he joined the AFC Sudbury academy, but soon became a regular part of the senior team, playing most matches of the 2021-22 season.[1]
On 7 July 2023, National League club Aldershot Town signed Stokes on a two year professional contract from AFC Sudbury for an undisclosed fee.[2] He made a positive impact for the club in the first half of the 2023-24 season, scoring 16 goals in 31 appearances across all appearances.
Despite interests from various clubs such as Norwich City,[3] on 22 January 2024, EFL Championship club Bristol City completed the signing of Stokes on a three and a half year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £250,000.[4] Stokes was immediately loaned back to Aldershot for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.[5]
