A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (43.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kacurri.

Judged on this season alone, Kacurri graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 55 of the 55 centre-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 2.97 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 22% of the 55 centre-backs in the League Two. At 21 Kacurri is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.9% 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 31.1, Kacurri carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 55 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
