Scouting Report & Player Insights

Tall, attack-minded full-back who thrives on early deliveries and well-timed overlaps. Combines physical presence with tidy technique, offering reliable crossing and calm build-up play. Defensive reading is sound, though pure acceleration can be tested against rapid wingers. Comfortable stepping into wide midfield or wing-back roles when needed.

Converted from an attacking role earlier in his career, which informs his forward runs and shooting technique from the flank.
