On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.5, ranking 452nd of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (36.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Beckles.

Judged on this season alone, Beckles graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 49th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 2 clean sheets and 3.485 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 71st of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 34 Beckles is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 7.5, Beckles carries the 71st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
