Judged on this season alone, Castro graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 93 of the 93 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets and 3.157 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 18). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 25% of the 93 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 25 Castro is in his prime years, and a market index of 26.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Racing Santander finished 1st of 22 · a title-challenging side
3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 22) 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 61.9, Castro carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División (top 25%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
