Scouting Report & Player Insights

Defensively reliable full-back who can also slot inside as a third centre-back. Combines strong dueling and recovery speed with disciplined positioning and steady, low-risk passing. Provides functional width with purposeful carries and dependable delivery rather than flair.

Born in one country but chose to represent another at senior international level.

Has been deployed both as an overlapping full-back and as a stay-at-home auxiliary centre-back depending on match plan.
