Clean sheets

4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 92% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 38.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
