Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

Harley Mills is a 22-year-old full-back at Peterborough, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 62nd of 213 on scout potential in the League One and 774th of 1756 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (36.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mills.

Judged on this season alone, Mills graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 19 of the 19 full-backs in the League One, on 1 clean sheet and 4.387 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 37% of the 19 full-backs in the League One. At 22 Mills is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.7% 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 43.2, Mills carries the 7th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 19 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
