WILLIAM VAULKS
Midfielder · Tranmere · League Two
“Veteran box-to-box worker who keeps Wales moving.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Vaulks is a veteran deep midfielder whose value comes from control and reliability, but it is held down by the league-level discount and the fact he is not a guaranteed starter. He is past his usual peak window, though Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday show he can still anchor a side.

Analysis overview
W. Vaulks plays like a seasoned midfielder who understands where the game is tilting and gets there early. In a box-to-box role, he links phases with simple, direct actions, offering legs in support, pressing with purpose, and arriving in the right pockets to help both sides of the ball. His game is built on discipline, timing, and experience rather than flash.
