Clean sheets

2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
