Squad depthCentral defender

C. Brennan is a 26-year-old central defender at Newport County, rated 25.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 266th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brennan.

Judged on this season alone, Brennan graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 2 clean sheets and 3.773 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 36th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 26 Brennan is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.1% 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 25.2, Brennan carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
