On long-term scout potential he's rated 16.9, ranking 202nd of 254 in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (47.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.46 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rooney.
Judged on this season alone, Rooney graded 23 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 40 full-backs in the League Two, on 4 clean sheets and 3.455 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 23). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 35th of 40 of the 40 full-backs in the League Two. At 30 Rooney is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Fleetwood Town finished 15th of 24 · a mid-table side
3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.9, Rooney carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 40 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
