Scout report
D. Yearwood is a 26-year-old defensive midfielder at Rotherham, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 294th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yearwood.
Judged on this season alone, Yearwood graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.507 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 47th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 26 Yearwood is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.4% 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 34.7, Yearwood carries the 47th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63, 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 solid defensive volume (4.51 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.
