An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Plant.
Judged on this season alone, Plant graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.974 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 11). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 24th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two. At 22 Plant is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Plant is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Tranmere finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33% 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 30.4, Plant carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 48 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
