Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) 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 5 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 79, Hackney carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 2%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
