As a player, he played in [[The Football League]] for [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]], [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]], [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]], [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] and [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]]. After taking over as player-manager of Hull City in 1998, he eventually moved to Belgium, where he was appointed manager of Manchester United's feeder club, [[Royal Antwerp FC|Royal Antwerp]], in 2006. Two years later, he returned to England as co-manager of the Manchester United reserves, along with former Manchester United forward [[Ole Gunnar Solskjær]]. When Solskjær left in 2011, Joyce took sole charge of the reserves.He is now manager of Wigan Athletic (2016) so the Wigan fans think lol ==Early life at Bolton== Joyce was born in [[Oldham]], Lancashire, the son of [[Walter Joyce]], the former [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] and [[Oldham Athletic A.F.C.|Oldham Athletic]] player, and began his career as a trainee with [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] in 1981. Working his way up into the first team he became known for being a tigerish [[midfielder]] who never gave less than 100%.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} This made him a firm favourite with the [[Burnden Park]] fans{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} and in six years with the club made a total of 221 appearances for the Trotters scoring 21 goals. ==The move to Preston== In October 1987, however, [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]] manager [[John McGrath (footballer born 1938)|John McGrath]] offered £35,000 for his services. With Joyce's father Walter now a coach at [[Deepdale]] (he had previously coached at Oldham Athletic), Joyce decided to make the move. Preston at the time were struggling but the additions of Joyce along with [[Brian Mooney]] and [[Tony Ellis]] not only added flair to the team but also some much-needed bite.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Over the next five years, he became a much-loved figure at Preston earning himself the nickname "Psycho", due to his never-say-die commitment to the cause.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lep.co.uk/sport/big-interview-warren-joyce-1-146209 |title=The Big Interview - Warren Joyce |publisher=Lep.co.uk |accessdate=6 May 2015}}</ref> In all he played 208 matches for the Lilywhites scoring 44 goals, not only picking up the club's [[Preston North End Player of the Year Award Winners|player of the year]] award along the way but also being made club captain.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} However, when [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]] made a £160,000 offer for him in May 1992, cash-strapped Preston were forced to accept and he was on his way to [[Home Park]].{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} ==Plymouth and Burnley== His stay in [[Devon]] however was short-lived, with Joyce playing only 40 games and scoring four goals in his year there. Plymouth decided to cash in and when [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] offered £140,000 for him in July 1993, he was on his way back to [[Lancashire]].{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} In three years at [[Turf Moor]] playing 90 games and scoring 12 goals. ==Hull's hero== A [[loan (football)|loan]] stay though at [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] in January 1995 paved the way for a permanent deal 18 months later, so in July 1996 Joyce signed on the dotted line for Hull. He went on to play a total of 170 games for Hull scoring 19 goals. He soon became club captain at [[Boothferry Park]], putting in some talisman type performances over the next two years.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} Indeed, his influence at the club was so apparent that in November 1998 he was asked to stand in as [[caretaker manager]] following the departure of [[Mark Hateley]].{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} City soon made the appointment permanent with Joyce taking on the dual role of [[player-manager]]. At the time of his appointment, City were rooted to the foot of the Fourth Division table and looked to be heading out of [[the Football League]] – and into bankruptcy.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} However, under Joyce's stewardship, City staged a remarkable turnaround and achieved survival with games to spare; City fans christened this season "the Great Escape".<ref name="PhilBooth">{{cite web |title=Following Tigers through thick and mainly thin finally pays off |url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/football/Following-Tigers-through-thick-and.4117591.jp |publisher=Yorkshire Post |accessdate=7 June 2008 }}</ref> Such is the esteem with which Joyce is regarded by Hull City fans he is assured a hero's welcome every time he returns to the KC Stadium.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} ==Coaching and management== City's chairman however decided to replace Joyce as manager with the more experienced and well-known [[Brian Little (footballer)|Brian Little]]. Many fans though felt that Joyce was a little hard done by because, considering the state the club was in at the time, he had done a fine job just keeping them in the league.{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} In all, Joyce's playing career spanned 19 years scoring 100 goals in 731 appearances for his various clubs. He has since held coaching roles with [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]] and [[Tranmere Rovers F.C.|Tranmere Rovers]].
