Output in context · Utrecht finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 27.9, Hoorn carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Eredivisie of 49. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
