Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.66 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.9, Taintor carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the USL Championship of 34 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
