W. Burrell is a 36-year-old central defender at Harrogate Town, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 50% of League Two centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.8, ranking 443rd of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burrell.

Judged on this season alone, Burrell graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 4 clean sheets and 4.233 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 67th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 36 Burrell is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 8.8, Burrell carries the 67th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
