A durable, physically imposing stopper with genuine pace and stamina for a 30-year-old; his pass range and aerial threat make him valuable in buildup phases, but tactical limitation and occasional disciplinary lapses place a ceiling on his ceiling-game reads. His consistency and reliability offer zero-drama defensive cover for clubs prioritizing availability over sophistication. Best deployed in compact, physically demanding leagues where his durability compounds value—he suits reactive rather than proactive systems.
