Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

T. Holmes is a 26-year-old central defender at Rotherham, rated 32.3 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Holmes.

On the season, Holmes graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.162 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 26 Holmes is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Holmes missed 11 games through injury (minor knock) out of roughly 46 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
