Output in context · Vancouver Whitecaps finished 1st of 15 · a title-challenging side
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 15) 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
