Scout report
R. Broom is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Cheltenham, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 351st of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Broom.
Judged on this season alone, Broom graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.438 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 52nd of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 29 Broom is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17.5, Broom carries the 52nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
