On long-term scout potential he's rated 25.7, ranking 240th of 272 in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (84.1% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Egan graded 41 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 6% of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship, on 12 clean sheets and 3.42 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 41 → 41). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 49th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Championship. At 34 Egan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Hull City finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.7, Egan carries the 49th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
