R. Broom is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Cheltenham, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 354th of 478 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 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th 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 broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 54th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 29 Broom is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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.
With a Rating of 17.5, Broom carries the 54th-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).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Broom sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Broom's projected Rating — 17.5 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.
