In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (66.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tanner.

Judged on this season alone, Tanner graded 41 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 9 clean sheets and 4.386 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 34th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 26 Tanner is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tanner missed 4 games through injury (ankle, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 33 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.
