On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, top 19% of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 24 Pollock is in his prime years, and a market index of 30.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pollock missed 3 games through injury (injured, injured doubtful) out of roughly 46 this season. The 35 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
