An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (35.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.29 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kabongolo.

Judged on this season alone, Kabongolo graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 19 of the 19 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 1 clean sheet and 3.286 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Kabongolo, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, 8th of 19 of the 19 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 23 Kabongolo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.2% 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 40.8, Kabongolo carries the 8th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 19, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — 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 moderate defensive volume (3.29 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
