On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.4, ranking 124th of 134 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burrell.
Judged on this season alone, Burrell graded 17 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 33 centre-backs in the League Two, on 4 clean sheets and 4.233 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 33rd of 33 of the 33 centre-backs in the League Two. At 36 Burrell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Harrogate Town finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 8.4, Burrell carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 33, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Harrogate Town finished 23rd 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 solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
