Lewis Shipley is a 22-year-old full-back at Barrow, rated 30.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 139th of 478 in the League Two and 2579th of 2901 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (47.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shipley.
Judged on this season alone, Shipley graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 68th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 3.121 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 37% of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 22 Shipley is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 30.5, Shipley carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two (top 37%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 22, Shipley sits on 8.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Shipley's projected Rating — 30.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
