Output in context · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 73.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
Rated 46.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
