Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 63, top 23% of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 26 Giles is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Giles missed 13 games through injury (inactive, injury, hamstring) out of roughly 49 this season. The 35 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 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Hull City finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 0 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.4, Giles carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship (top 23%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
