In fact, it ain’t normal for many centre-backs to score a dramatic goal –that too in injury time. But Tilt has defied the boundaries once and for all.
Tilt is having an exceptional season with the Seasiders
The English defender has garnered four goals and three assists so far this season –not too often you will find such stats among the centre-backs.
The defensive record of the League One side tends to be more impressive , as they were the only side to concede fewer goals in the league, and Tilt was pivotal in achieving that record.
Transfer Link with Rangers
The centre-back has been one of the targets for Steven Gerrard who made some productive signings in the January transfer window.
Furthermore, Tilt joined WillSalt agency last month to secure a future move from the club.
The 27-year-old’s contact is due to expire later this season.
Should the Light blues keep their interest alive?
The Gers’ defensive record has been off-colour in recent times as they haven’t secured any clean-sheets and a win in last five games.
With Joe Worrall is speculated to end his loan spell this season and Gareth McAuley, the 39-year-old, is on the twilight of his career, the Light Blues are depleted with defensive options.
Moreover, Tilt could strike up a great partnership with Conor Goldson, a versatile defender for the Gers. And more like Goldson, Tilt is also synonymous with the right-back role.
