B. Spittal is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Heart Of Midlothian, rated 25.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 175th of 219 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Spittal.
Judged on this season alone, Spittal graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Championship, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.005 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 17th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the Championship. At 30 Spittal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25.6, Spittal carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 20. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~16), then tapers with age. At 30, Spittal sits on 7.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Spittal's projected Rating — 25.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
