Very good in the air, though he can attempt to be too forceful and try to win a header he has no chance of getting to, at times.

His key asset is his tackling, it tends to be excellent. The worry is that he is called upon to use it too often because his positioning can be suspect at times.

Decent enough on the ball to get by. He is not really a ball-playing defender, but he is not going to just panic and boot it up field when given time and space.

Very strong, it aids his tackling as he can use his body to muscle a player into a position he can tackle the ball from them.

Quick, very quick. His recovery pace enables him to cope with most forwards.

Decent in the air when he has a run and leap, as his leap is excellent. However he is not tall enough to win a standing battle with a big opponent.

Strong and aggressive in the tackle, however he can often be over-aggressive.

Decent on the ball, which is why he is able to slot in at full-back without too many issues.

Strong enough to ensure that, added to his natural aggression, he is very rarely outdone in a physical battle.

Quick enough to be a passable full-back but not exceptionally so.
