Squad depthCentral midfielder

J. Earing is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Barrow, rated 22.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 294th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (41.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Earing.

Judged on this season alone, Earing graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.281 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 37th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 27 Earing is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.9% 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 22.6, Earing carries the 37th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
