On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 20% of the 40 full-backs in the League Two. At 24 Tomkinson is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Cheltenham finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.5, Tomkinson carries the 8th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
