Scout report
J. Turnbull is a 31-year-old full-back at Tranmere, rated 11.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 413th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Turnbull.
Judged on this season alone, Turnbull graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 82nd of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 1 clean sheet and 4.172 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 75th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 31 Turnbull is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tranmere finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (21st 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 11.9, Turnbull carries the 75th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 83 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
