Talented Josh is on his way to winning a national freestyle competition headed by Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
He is already over 1,000 votes ahead in the online contest despite being pitted against youngsters twice his age.
The 4ft 10in wonder has wowed crowds with his ball control skills, including testing signature moves 'Round the World' and 'Enigma', as well as a series of complex ball-balancing tricks.
Josh, who only began playing football four years ago aged six, chooses a new freestyle trick then practices at least two hours a day, seven days a week until he can perform it perfectly.
The testing tricks can take the football-mad schoolboy anything between one week and one month to master depending on the level of difficulty.
Josh's latest balancing act involves flicking the ball in air, catching it on the back of his neck and balancing it there while he pulls his shirt over his head without dropping the ball.
In 'Round the World' Josh can be seen kicking up the ball with his left foot before looping the same leg over the ball in mid-air and catching it again on that foot.
On top of his non-stop practice, Josh trains and plays football six hours a week with Norwich City Academy, Hadley Rangers under-11s and Hertfordshire Brazilian soccer school.
His ambition is to become a professional free-styler and cited world-class players Christiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho as his footballing idols.
Josh, from Welwyn Garden City, Hertforshire, said: 'I got into freestyle after watching YouTube videos. It's loads cooler than normal football.
'The tricks look hard but once you get to know how to do them its pretty easy. I've learnt a lot of skills since I was at the school - it gives me a good chance to practice.'
Andrew Anastasiou, 46, Josh's coach at the Brazilian soccer school in Hatfield, said his young protégé had raw talent and was easily capable of turning professional.
Businessman Mr Anastasiou set up the Hertfordshire branch of Brazilian Soccer School three years ago and has been coaching Josh for the last 18 months.
He said Josh was easily the most talented of the 200 aspiring freestyle footballers he has coached.
The Gerrard Performance Challenge invites youngsters to post video clips of their freestyle skills and is open to entries and votes until December 31.
With a current total of 1,508 online votes Josh looks set to claim the first prize of a couple of VIP tickets to a Premiership football match.
Josh's proud parents Bill and Hayley Clancy are devoted to helping their son achieve his dream.
Mr Clancy said: 'It's great to see Josh doing so well with his hobby - although he drives us mad when he is kicking a football around indoors all the time.
'He would love to become a professional freestyler and it would be a miracle iff he could make it.
'So many other kids are trying to do the same thing but I think Josh is committed enough to achieve his dream.'
