**Joshua Strizovic** is a footballer who plays for **Hashtag United** (men).

Braintree Town
Strizovic was attached at senior level to Braintree Town of the National League at the start of 2016–17, having come through their youth ranks. He was an unused substitute for 3 competitive matches between August (Torquay United), September (Chester) and December (Millwall, FA Cup 2nd round) 2016 - the latter after a loan spell with Waltham Forest in November.

Waltham Forest (loan)
Waltham Forest loaned Strizovic in November 2016. He would feature twice for *Stow* in the Essex Senior League, making his debut on 5 November in an away loss at Southend Manor before taking part in a home defeat to Redbridge 4 days later. The goalkeeper would then appear on the substitute's bench for a win over Wadham Lodge on 16 November before departing.

London Bari
February 2017 saw Strizovic head to Essex Senior League side London Bari. He appeared 4 times for the club as they lost on each occassion to Ilford (away and home), Wadham Lodge and Romania by an aggregate scoreline of 17–3.

Redbridge
Strizovic penned terms with Redbridge in March 2017. The goalkeeper wouldn't be selected to take part at competitive senior level for *The Motormen*, as he went unused as a substitute for a Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy quarter-final defeat at Barking on 28 March and for a Essex Senior League 4–2 triumph at home to ex-club Waltham Forest on 14 April. He would, however, be selected 6 times for them at reserve level to conclude the campaign.

Burnham Ramblers
In August 2017, Strizovic joined Essex Senior League outfit Burnham Ramblers. His bow arrived on 26 August in a 4-goal home loss versus Takeley. He would remain for the full duration of the season, amassing 37 total appearances as *The Ramblers* placed 20th out of 21 and were relegated to the Thurlow Nunn League - Division One South.

Billericay Town
Billericay Town announced the arrival of Strizovic on 14 June 2018. He would not feature for Harry Wheeler's National League South team, eventually departing - after a tiny spell with Biggleswade Town in August - to rejoin Wheeler at Maidstone United of the National League at the beginning of October.

Biggleswade Town (loan)
Strizovic was with Biggleswade Town for a sole Southern League - Premier Division Central encounter on 14 August 2023, as he started a narrow 1-goal home win over AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

Maidstone United
Maidstone United completed the signing of Strizovic on 3 October 2018. Like with *The Blues* previously, the goalkeeper would not see competitive action for *The Stones* as he was limited to sitting on the bench 20 times across league and cup across the entirety of the season; aside from a spell out on loan with Basildon United.

Basildon United (loan)
From January to March 2019, Strizovic was loaned out to Basildon United in the Isthmian League - North Division. During that period, the goalkeeper played in league fixtures with Brentwood Town, Aveley, AFC Sudbury, Felixstowe & Walton United and Romford.

Dagenham & Redbridge (return)
Strizovic returned to former youth team Dagenham & Redbridge in May 2019. No senior appearances would initially follow competitively as he was selected on the bench 6 times, which preceded the goalkeeper heading on loan to Romford in November. He was assigned to that Isthmian League - North Division side until January 2020, though would return quicker having only featured once for *The Boro*. Strizovic would continue to make the bench intermittently and also experience loans out to East Grinstead Town, Harrow Borough, Braintree Town, Herne Bay, Hanwell Town and Haringey Borough across the next 4 seasons or so.

Upon returning from the latter club in March 2023, the goalkeeper would subsequently make his *Daggers* debut in a 18 March National League draw at home to Oldham Athletic; which was succeeded by further games versus Torquay United, Gateshead and Dorking Wanderers.

Romford (loan)
Strizovic appeared in a 23 November Isthmian League - North Division defeat at Dereham Town, having joined *The Boro* on loan - originally until 18 January 2020, though that appearance in that encounter would turn out to be his 1st and final showing for them.

East Grinstead Town (loan)
Strizovic had a 1-appearance stint with East Grinstead Town in September 2020, as he ran out for *The Wasps* in their 4–1 success at Haywards Heath Town in the Isthmian League - South East Division on 19 September.

Harrow Borough (loan)
Harrow Borough signed Strizovic via a 1-month loan deal on 11 September 2021. Having debuted on that day against Weston-super-Mare in the Southern League - Premier Division South, the goalkeeper would make 5 more appearances across that sole month in league and cup before extending his time with *The Boro* by 3 months on 12 October. Strizovic would end up remaining there for the rest of the season, totalling 43 overall showings for them as they finished 14th; having also reached the FA Cup 1st round, where they'd lose out on the road to Portsmouth.

Braintree Town (loan) (return)
As September ticked to October in 2022, Strizovic returned to Braintree Town via a short-term loan deal; deputising for Damian Niemczycki, who had to leave due to a "sudden family bereavement" back in his native Poland. A 3–1 loss at Dover Athletic on 8 October would see the goalkeeper make his sole appearance back with *The Iron*.

Herne Bay (loan)
Herne Bay captured the temporary talents of Strizovic towards the end of October 2022. Starts would be forthcoming in away league defeats to Enfield Town (on 29 October) and Corinthian-Casuals (on 5 November).

Hanwell Town (loan)
Southern League - Premier Division South club Hanwell Town would sign Strizovic on loan on 11 November 2022. 9 appearances would arrive during his time with *The Geordies* up until a 3 February 2023 departure.

Haringey Borough (loan)
Strizovic's following port of call would be with Haringey Borough, as he spent some time on loan with *The Borough* through February and March 2023. 10 appearances in goal for the them would subsequently occur, as he made his debut on 4 February in a 2–2 draw away at Potters Bar Town; with his 2nd game for Haringey coming against the same opposition at the same venue 3 days later in a Velocity Sports Trophy quarter-final loss. He concluded his stint there with a 14 March participation at former employers Herne Bay.

Folkestone Invicta (loan)
Another loan for Strizovic occurred on 8 September 2023 as the Isthmian League - Premier Division's Folkestone Invicta captured his services, with regular number 1 Joe Coleman unavailable due to work commitments. He would initally take part in cup matches with Chatham Town (Kent Senior Cup 1st round) and Margate (FA Cup 2nd qualifying round, away and replay), prior to being selected in 3 consecutive league encounters with Whitehawk, Potters Bar Town and Concord Rangers.

### HTU

2023–24
On 4 November 2023, with 1st-choice Ted Curd away on youth international duty for a few weeks at least, Strizovic was snapped up "on a short term (sic) loan deal". He made his debut for *The Tags* under manager Jay Devereux hours later in an eventual 2–1 loss at the Len Salmon Stadium to Hastings United. Strizovic went on to play 5 further times for the club, making his 6th and final appearance in a 2 December win at home to Canvey Island. On 9 January 2024, as Curd's loan from Chelsea was cut short by the latter, Strizovic rejoined HTU on loan until the end of the season. His 2nd bow arrived later that day as HTU lost 5–0 to Potters Bar Town.
