A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (67% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gore.

Judged on this season alone, Gore graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 3.373 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 26). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 23% of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 21 Gore is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.1, Gore carries the 14th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 23%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd 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 (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
