Output in context · Northampton finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 19.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 41.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
