1 clean sheet in 2 appearances (50% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 2.9 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
