Scout report
K. Spence is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Rotherham, rated 40.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 215th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (35.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Spence.
Judged on this season alone, Spence graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 4.628 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 18). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 36th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 25 Spence is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.7% 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 40.2, Spence carries the 36th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd 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 (4.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
