Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Roef is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Gent, rated 31.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 96th of 113 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roef.

Judged on this season alone, Roef graded 18 — a strong campaign that ranks top 16% of the 25 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 10 clean sheets across 41 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 19th of 25 of the 25 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 32 Roef is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

10 clean sheets in 41 appearances (24% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • 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 31.4, Roef carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League of 25. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
