Output in context · Bolton finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 46 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43, Johnston carries the 24th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 31%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
