In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (42.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burroughs.
Judged on this season alone, Burroughs graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 4 clean sheets and 4.273 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 17). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 32nd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 25 Burroughs is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
Burroughs is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Northampton finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.4, Burroughs carries the 32nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Northampton 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 (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
