An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (63% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Spencer.
Judged on this season alone, Spencer graded 32 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 5.179 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 32). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, top 29% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 22 Spencer is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 28 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Spencer missed 8 games through injury (leg, thigh problems, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Spencer is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Oxford United finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.9, Spencer carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 29%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Oxford United finished 22nd 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 high defensive volume (5.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
