Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Full-back

J. Brenet is a 32-year-old full-back at Livingston, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 206th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (51.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Brenet.

Judged on this season alone, Brenet graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership, on 1 clean sheet and 4.276 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 37th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership. At 32 Brenet is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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. 4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 17.5, Brenet carries the 37th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 41 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
