Scout report
L. Gordon is a 27-year-old full-back at Port Vale, rated 32.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 316th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (40.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.41 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gordon.
Judged on this season alone, Gordon graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 63rd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 5 clean sheets and 2.411 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 46th of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 27 Gordon is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Port Vale finished 22nd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% 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 32.9, Gordon carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One of 79, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Port Vale finished 22nd 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 moderate defensive volume (2.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
