6 clean sheets in 20 appearances (30% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (19th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.4, Brook carries the 8th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shrewsbury finished 19th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
