Clean sheets

2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23, Kent carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 30, Kent sits on 3.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kent's projected Rating — 23 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
