Output in context · Port Vale finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 11.2, Heneghan carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Port Vale finished 21st of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
