Ben Purrington
Center Back · Bristol Rovers · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Cambridge United — Season rating 25, 0 goals and 1 assist in 34 games. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (13 → 17). The gap to his peak is 9 Season points.
