Output in context · Junior finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
