Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

R. Brown is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Crawley Town, rated 15.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 374th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brown.

Judged on this season alone, Brown graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.948 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 57th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 30 Brown is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 29.5% 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 15.1, Brown carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Crawley Town finished 22nd of 24) — 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 (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 30, Brown sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Brown's projected Rating — 15.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
