Scout report
Z. Jules is a 29-year-old central defender at Rotherham, rated 29.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 350th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (67.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.1 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jules.
Judged on this season alone, Jules graded 23 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 88 centre-backs in the League One, on 7 clean sheets and 3.1 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 57th of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the League One. At 29 Jules is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 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 · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.2, Jules carries the 57th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League One of 88, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham finished 23rd 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 (3.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
