D. Iorfa is a 31-year-old central defender at Sheffield Wednesday, rated 31.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 423rd of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (69% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iorfa.
Judged on this season alone, Iorfa graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 58th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 3.507 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 67th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 31 Iorfa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Iorfa missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 46 this season. The 34 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 31.9, Iorfa carries the 67th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sheffield Wednesday finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
