Output in context · Salford City finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
