Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wootton.
Judged on this season alone, Wootton graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 42 of the 42 centre-backs in the A-League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.538 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 16). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 30th of 42 of the 42 centre-backs in the A-League. At 34 Wootton is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Wootton is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 7.7, Wootton carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the A-League of 42, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Perth Glory finished 10th of 12) — 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 (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 34, Wootton sits on 0.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wootton's projected Rating — 7.7 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.
