Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Roef is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Gent, rated 29.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 275th of 311 on scout potential in the Jupiler Pro League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Roef.

Judged on this season alone, Roef graded 22 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 14% of the 29 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League, on 11 clean sheets across 41 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 22nd of 29 of the 29 goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League. At 32 Roef is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

11 clean sheets in 41 appearances (27% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

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 29.1, Roef carries the 22nd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gent finished 5th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
