M. de Gevigney

M. de Gevigney, Barnsley’s robust centre-back, is carving out a strong reputation in League One with his impressive defensive acumen. At 25, he's reached an age where experience meets peak physical prowess, and it shows in his play. Known for his remarkable ability to recover the ball, de Gevigney is a reliable presence at the back, often thwarting opposition attacks with timely interventions. His knack for winning duels is complemented by a decent capacity for progressive carrying, allowing him to transition swiftly from defence to midfield. While his penalty box defending could use some refinement, his overall ball retention skills ensure he remains a steadying influence during high-pressure situations. Not particularly renowned for chance creation or goal threat, de Gevigney’s strengths lie firmly in his defensive duties, making him a cornerstone of Barnsley’s backline. This scout report highlights a player whose style of play is quintessentially no-nonsense, yet with a touch of modern flair in his passing game.
