Scout report
S. Clare is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Leyton Orient, rated 27.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 362nd of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clare.
Judged on this season alone, Clare graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.533 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 55th of 63 of the 63 defensive midfielders in the League One. At 29 Clare is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.5% 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 27.8, Clare carries the 55th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
