Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on John.

Below his 2024/25 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
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.5% 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 40.1, John carries the 34th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One (top 39%), 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 solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
