Output in context · Cambridge United finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
