Scout report
A. Cochrane is a 26-year-old full-back at Birmingham, rated 61.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 188th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (59.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cochrane.
Judged on this season alone, Cochrane graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 2.391 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 52 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 38% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 26 Cochrane is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cochrane missed 17 games through injury (ankle, inactive, injured doubtful) out of roughly 46 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Birmingham finished 10th of 24 · a mid-table side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.6, Cochrane carries the 29th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 38%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
