Scout report
C. Taylor is a 32-year-old central defender at West Brom, rated 23.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 142nd of 160 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (40.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Taylor.
Judged on this season alone, Taylor graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 30 of the 30 centre-backs in the Championship, on 6 clean sheets and 2.458 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 19). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 25th of 30 of the 30 centre-backs in the Championship. At 32 Taylor is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · West Brom finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 23.7, Taylor carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 30, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st 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 moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
