One of the biggest game-time risers in the League Two: on the pitch for 100% of Chesterfield's available minutes this season, up from 21% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Experienced headGoalkeeper

R. Boot is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Chesterfield, rated 15.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 224th of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (47.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boot.

Judged on this season alone, Boot graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 5). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 23rd of 26 of the 26 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 31 Boot is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 11 appearances (18% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 15.1, Boot carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 26 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
