Joshua Neil "Josh" Law (born 19 August 1989) is an English footballer who plays for Oldham Athletic as a defender or midfielder. He has previously played for Chesterfield, Alfreton Town and Motherwell.
Born in Nottingham, Law – the son of the former Chesterfield manager Nicky Law and brother of fellow professional footballer, also called Nicky – turned professional in July 2007. He made his first team debut against Hartlepool United in the Football League Trophy in September 2007, seeing a shot cleared off the line and another hitting the bar. He joined Alfreton Town, the club managed by his father, on a three-month loan in October 2007. At the end of the loan, the deal was extended until the end of the season.
After being released by Chesterfield upon the expiry of his contract, Law made a permanent move to Alfreton in the 2008 close season. After his first full season at the club, Law signed a one-year contract and then the following summer signed another one-year contract. During his time at the club, Law played in both full back and midfielder position.
At the end of the 2010–11 season, Law was given the Players' Player of the Season Award. He was also named in the 2010–11 Blue Square Bet North Team of the Season. Then at the end of the 2011–12 season, Law signed another 12-month option with the club. In May 2013, Law signed another one-year contract, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2013–14 season.
Law spent seven seasons at Alfreton and made over 250 appearance, where he was one of the longest serving players at the club at the time.
On 21 May 2014, Law completed a free transfer to Scottish Premiership club Motherwell, the same club his brother Nicky had played for previously. Law said he hoped the move to Motherwell would help him "establish myself in my own right and make a name for myself".
