On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.4, ranking 461st of 520 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (29.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Powell.

Judged on this season alone, Powell graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 85 of the 85 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 4 clean sheets and 4.148 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 81st of 85 of the 85 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Powell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.4, Powell carries the 81st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 85. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
