An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Butcher.
On the season, Butcher graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.353 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 1). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 29 Butcher is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Salford City finished 1st of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 16.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
