Scouting Report & Player Insights
John Ruddy is a veteran English goalkeeper whose long career has spanned Everton, Norwich City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cardiff City and Birmingham City, built on solid shot-stopping and experienced command of his box rather than modern sweeper-keeper distribution. Now well into his late 30s and on Newcastle United's books, he operates strictly as an experienced squad option and emergency cover rather than a first-choice starter. His game is defined by reliability, positioning honed over hundreds of professional appearances, and a calm, steady presence for younger defenders around him.
Was Norwich City's first-choice goalkeeper during a Championship promotion campaign.
Long-serving Premier League and Championship goalkeeper across multiple clubs including Norwich and Wolves.
