Scout report
T. Cantwell is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Blackburn, rated 47.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 112th of 202 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50% 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 34 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 40 central midfielders in the Championship, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 2.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 34 → 34). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 48, 24th of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Championship. At 28 Cantwell is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.7 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cantwell is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
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.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 47.8, Cantwell carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 40, 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).
