R. McGree is a 27-year-old defensive midfielder at Middlesbrough, rated 58.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 242nd of 493 in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (55.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.81 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGree.
Judged on this season alone, McGree graded 36 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 6 goals, 3 assists and 1.806 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 27th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 27 McGree is in his prime years, and a market index of 75 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: McGree missed 14 games through injury (injury, muscle bruise, muscle) out of roughly 49 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 58.6, McGree carries the 27th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~75), then tapers with age. At 27, McGree sits on 75, at or near its peak. The blue line is McGree's projected Rating — 58.6 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.
