Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 60 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 46th of 51 of the 51 centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League. At 34 Jans is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · SK Beveren finished 1st of 17 · a title-challenging side
3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 17) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 66% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, 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 15, Jans carries the 46th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Challenger Pro League of 51. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
