Scout report
T. Barkhuizen is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Barrow, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 3 assists in 32 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 45% of League Two central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.1, ranking 430th of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barkhuizen.
Judged on this season alone, Barkhuizen graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 2.723 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 65th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 33 Barkhuizen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Barrow finished 24th of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 10.1, Barkhuizen carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
