Scout report
W. Harding is a 29-year-old full-back at Plymouth, rated 26.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 368th of 486 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Harding.
Judged on this season alone, Harding graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the League One, on 3 clean sheets and 3.408 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 44th of 61 of the 61 full-backs in the League One. At 29 Harding is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Plymouth finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.8% 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 26.8, Harding carries the 44th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 61 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
