Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lawrence-Gabriel.
Judged on this season alone, Lawrence-Gabriel graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 6 clean sheets and 1.855 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 45th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 27 Lawrence-Gabriel is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Port Vale finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.86 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.5, Lawrence-Gabriel carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Port Vale finished 22nd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
