Output in context · Newcastle Jets finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).
