Output in context · Stockport County finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 46 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 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 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.
