Experienced headFull-back

T. Sekine is a 31-year-old full-back at Urawa, rated 24.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 268th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sekine.

Judged on this season alone, Sekine graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League, on 6 clean sheets and 3.343 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 38th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League. At 31 Sekine is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 24.2, Sekine carries the 38th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
