Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Faulkner.

Judged on this season alone, Faulkner graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 4.695 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 34% of the 39 full-backs in the League Two. At 22 Faulkner is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.5, Faulkner carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two (top 34%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Harrogate Town finished 23rd 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 (4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
