He began his outdoor career with the Montreal Impact in the USL First Division in 2004 where he finished fourth in scoring and helped the Impact win the championship. In 2005, he signed a two-year contract, but was waived at the end of the 2006 season. He signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2007, and was traded mid-season to the RailHawks in exchange for Sola Abolaji.
Bailey made his debut for Trinidad and Tobago in a January 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying match against Martinique, coming on as a substitute for Darryl Roberts. He has earned a total of 4 caps.
In July 2014, Joel established the G.D.D Generation Next Academy. The Academy's aim is to help young aspiring football players develop their skills.
