On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 49th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Brophy is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 43 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 3 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 18.2, Brophy carries the 49th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 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 (0.9× 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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 31, Brophy sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Brophy's projected Rating — 18.2 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.
