Scout report
Salva Ruiz is a 31-year-old central defender at Huesca, rated 26.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 164th of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ruiz.
Judged on this season alone, Ruiz graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 4 clean sheets and 2.392 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 37th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 31 Ruiz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Ruiz is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Huesca finished 20th of 22 · a relegation-threatened side
2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 22) 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 30.4% 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 26.4, Ruiz carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 47, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Huesca finished 20th of 22) — 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 (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
