Scout report
A. Van Hoorenbeeck is a 27-year-old central defender at Heracles, rated 51.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 202nd of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (72.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hoorenbeeck.
Judged on this season alone, Hoorenbeeck graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie, on 1 clean sheet and 3.34 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 33rd of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Eredivisie. At 27 Hoorenbeeck is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Heracles finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.4, Hoorenbeeck carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
