Clean sheets

4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 22) 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

  • Defensive volume. 4.11 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.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
