Judged on this season alone, Norburn graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 4.091 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 63rd of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 33 Norburn is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Notts County finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 11.6, Norburn carries the 63rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
