Y. Horigome is a 31-year-old full-back at Albirex Niigata, rated 22 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 697th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (49.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Horigome.
Judged on this season alone, Horigome graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the J3 League, on 2 clean sheets and 4.574 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 13 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 65th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Horigome is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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.
With a Rating of 22, Horigome carries the 65th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J3 League of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20) — 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 (4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 31, Horigome sits on 7.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Horigome's projected Rating — 22 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.
