Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Full-back

T. Nixon is a 23-year-old full-back at Doncaster, rated 40.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 40th of 107 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nixon.

Judged on this season alone, Nixon graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 14 of the 14 full-backs in the League One, on 2 clean sheets and 4.703 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 9). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 6th of 14 of the 14 full-backs in the League One. At 23 Nixon is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.3% 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 40.4, Nixon carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 14 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
