Output in context · Adelaide United finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 11.4, Kitto carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the A-League of 32.
