Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

N. Gordon is a 24-year-old central defender at Monterey Bay, rated 28.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 67th of 272 on scout potential in the USL Championship. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gordon.

Judged on this season alone, Gordon graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 59 of the 59 centre-backs in the USL Championship, on 2 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 5). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 23% of the 59 centre-backs in the USL Championship. At 24 Gordon is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.6, Gordon carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 59 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
