Joss Christopher Labadie (born 31 August 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Newport County.
Born in Croydon, Labadie started his football career with West Bromwich Albion, joining their academy in 2006 after being spotted playing for Barking Abbey College of Sport and being invited for a trial. In the 2007–08 season, he played 19 times for Albion's reserve team, scoring three times. It earned him his first professional contract in the summer of 2008, on a one-year deal with the option of a second season. Before he was able to break into the Albion first team, he was sent on loan to League Two side Shrewsbury Town on 1 January 2009. He played for Shrewsbury two days later in a league match against Bradford City at Valley Parade, in a game which finished 0–0, but subsequently fractured his foot in training and returned to West Brom less than a week after he had left the club. He returned to Shrewsbury on an initial month-long loan on 3 August. He made his first appearance of the 2009–10 season in a 3–1 victory over Burton Albion, during which he scored a free kick from 30 yards. He returned to West Brom in November, with Shrewsbury manager Paul Simpson saying "I've been disappointed with his recent attitude". Later the same year, he had another loan spell in League Two, this time with Cheltenham Town.
On 24 March 2010, Labadie signed for Tranmere Rovers on loan until the end of 2009–10 season. He made his club debut during a 3–0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. On 14 May 2010, Labadie was released by West Brom.
