Output in context · Melbourne Victory finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
4.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 21 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
