Output in context · Newport County finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 4 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.53 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 29.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
