Scout report
D. Fry is a 28-year-old central defender at Middlesbrough, rated 49.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 307th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (54% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fry.
Judged on this season alone, Fry graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets and 3.282 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 48th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 28 Fry is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fry missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 49 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Middlesbrough finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.4, Fry carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
