T. Cantwell is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Blackburn, rated 51.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 294th of 493 in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (69.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cantwell.
Judged on this season alone, Cantwell graded 45 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 2.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 45). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 44th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Cantwell is in his prime years, and a market index of 39.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cantwell missed 13 games through injury (knee, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 28 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.
Cantwell is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 51.8, Cantwell carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~66), then tapers with age. At 28, Cantwell sits on 39.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cantwell's projected Rating — 51.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
