All League One standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 79% of Reading's available minutes this season, up from 3% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
A. Rinomhota is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Reading, rated 26.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 182nd of 213 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rinomhota.
Judged on this season alone, Rinomhota graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.681 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 9). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 12th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 29 Rinomhota is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Reading finished 8th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.3% 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 26.7, Rinomhota carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
