Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

M. Williams is a 30-year-old full-back at Barrow, rated 16.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 370th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (49.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Williams.

Judged on this season alone, Williams graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 66th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 3.169 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 70th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 30 Williams is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.4% 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 16.2, Williams carries the 70th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 83, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th 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 (3.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
