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. 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.

On the season, Brown graded 13 for current form (age-blind), 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. 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

Rated 15.1 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).
