Clean sheets

4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Creativity. 0.44 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.1% 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 24.9, Cigaņiks carries the 42nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 46. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.03 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).
