P. Quinton is a 26-year-old central defender at Real Salt Lake, rated 36.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 236th of 491 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (70.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Quinton.

Judged on this season alone, Quinton graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 109th of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.005 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 15). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 52nd of 127 of the 127 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 26 Quinton is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 15) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.7, Quinton carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 127, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Real Salt Lake finished 11th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
