Scout report
N. Nomura is a 35-year-old central midfielder at Oita Trinita, rated 8.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nomura.
Judged on this season alone, Nomura graded 7 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 11% of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 7). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 75th of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League. At 35 Nomura is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Oita Trinita finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, 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 8.5, Nomura carries the 75th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
