A center-back with good physical presence and a natural athleticism that can win him duels on the ground and in the air. He's willing and aggressive in the tackle, which endears him to coaches, but his reading of the game is pedestrian and he's vulnerable to intelligent movement—he can be dragged out of position by clever off-ball play. Passing out from the back is uninspired and occasional; he's very much a 'win the ball, give it to someone clever' type rather than a progressive force.
