J. McClean is a 37-year-old defensive midfielder at Wrexham, rated 7.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 491st of 493 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.54 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McClean.
Judged on this season alone, McClean graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 4.539 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 65th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 37 McClean is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 7.9, McClean carries the 65th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 37, McClean sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is McClean's projected Rating — 7.9 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.
