Scout report

Project playerFull-back

P. Ng is a 30-year-old full-back at Cardiff, enjoying a standout season — 6 goals and 4 assists in 35 appearances, a Season grade of 34, top 41% of Championship full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 29.9, ranking 173rd of 202 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter (63.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ng.

Judged on this season alone, Ng graded 34 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Championship, on 11 clean sheets and 3.375 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 34 → 34). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 27th of 29 of the 29 full-backs in the Championship. At 30 Ng is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 6 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 63.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.9, Ng carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 29. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
