He made his senior debut in the 2012 championship. Joyce has since gone on to play a key part in defence for Cork, and has won one Munster medal. He has been an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Joyce plays hurling and Gaelic football with Na Piarsaigh.

Club
In 2013 Joyce enjoyed his first major success with the Na Piarsaigh senior hurling team. A 0-20 to 2-9 defeat of Sarsfield's gave him a Hurling League medal.
Inter-county
Joyce first played for Cork with the minor and under-21 teams, however, he enjoyed little success in these grades.
On 7 July 2012 Joyce made his senior championship debut in a 1-26 to 2-16 defeat of Offaly in the All-Ireland qualifiers. He became Cork's first choice centre-back for the championship the following year, lining out in his first Munster decider, however, Cork faced a 0-24 to 0-15 defeat by Limerick. On 8 September 2013 Joyce lined out against Clare in his first All-Ireland final. Three second-half goals through Conor Lehane, Anthony Nash and Pa Cronin, and a tenth point of the game from Patrick Horgan gave Cork a one-point lead as injury time came to an end. A last-gasp point from corner-back Domhnall O'Donovan earned Clare a 0-25 to 3-16 draw. The replay on 28 September was regarded as one of the best in recent years. Clare's Shane O'Donnell was a late addition to the team, and went on to score a hat-trick of goals in the first nineteen minutes of the game. Patrick Horgan top scored for Cork, however, further goals from Conor McGrath and Darach Honan secured a 5-16 to 3-16 victory for Clare.
In 2014 Joyce won his first Munster medal as goals by Séamus Harnedy and Paudie O'Sullivan gave Cork a 2-24 to 0-24 victory over Limerick in the provincial decider.
