Scout report
O. Rathbone is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Wrexham, rated 40.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 390th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.01 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rathbone.
Judged on this season alone, Rathbone graded 32 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 7 goals, 1 assist and 4.007 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, 48th of 65 of the 65 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 29 Rathbone is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Rathbone missed 6 games through injury (sprained ankle, ankle) out of roughly 46 this season. The 26 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 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Wrexham finished 7th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th 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 7 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.62 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.4% 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 40.2, Rathbone carries the 48th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
