H. Hackney is a 24-year-old central midfielder at Middlesbrough, rated 79 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 1st of 493 in the Championship. An emerging talent, he has been an ever-present this season (95% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hackney.
Judged on this season alone, Hackney graded 52 — a standout campaign that ranks top 5% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 5 goals, 7 assists and 2.51 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 49 → 52). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, top 2% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 24 Hackney is in his prime years, and a market index of 101.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hackney missed 10 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 49 this season. The 39 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
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.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~101), then tapers with age. At 24, Hackney sits on 101.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Hackney's projected Rating — 79 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
