1.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
