Squad depthCentral defender

Harley Mills is a 22-year-old central defender at Peterborough, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (42.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mills.

On the season, Mills graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 3.198 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 14). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43. At 22 Mills is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 43.2 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
