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, 53rd of 73 of the 73 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 32 Horigome is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Consadole Sapporo finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, 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 22.2, Horigome carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Consadole Sapporo finished 17th 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 (0.8× and falling).
