A left-sided centre-back who's good in one-v-one defending and aggressive with his positioning, willing to step into the half-space to snuff out danger early. He's relatively mobile for his age and brings tactical flexibility. However, he's a reactive defender rather than a proactive one—he doesn't anticipate well enough to sweep effectively, and his distribution is functional rather than progressive. He's a workmanlike, experienced presence, the kind of 30-something defender who slots into a decent back line without transforming it.
