Clean sheets

2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 22.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
