Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Giles.
Judged on this season alone, Giles graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 9 clean sheets and 2.066 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 33). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 13% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 26 Giles is in his prime years, and a market index of 87.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Giles missed 13 games through injury (inactive, injury, hamstring) out of roughly 49 this season. The 35 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.
2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 68.1, Giles carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 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 (~87), then tapers with age. At 26, Giles sits on 87.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Giles's projected Rating — 68.1 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.
