Output in context · Stellenbosch finished 9th of 16 · a mid-table side
3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 7 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 5.1, Lebitso carries the 34th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier Soccer League of 34 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
