Output in context · Grimsby finished 7th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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 1 goal and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.4% 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 32.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
