His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.

Signature: Receive → Break A Line → Progress — the only steps proven repeatable this season (3 of 5 in the full pattern). Not enough evidence yet for the rest of the chain below.
Not a pattern: carry out — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); switch play — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Hull City's output per match with Matt Targett (1 matches) versus without him (7 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 7 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. What his own defending should move — goals conceded and results — leads; attacking output (largely out of a defender's hands) is shown after, for context. A proper on-off model needs many more minutes.

Recruitment
Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Matt Targett is a centre-back: 100% pass completion, 1 line-breaking passes and 7.5 progressive passes /90. A build-and-progress centre-back whose value is in beating the first line with the pass, not in raw defensive volume. [Aerial duels, marking, line-height and 1v1 recovery need aerial-event + tracking data, absent here.]
Based on 1 matches (12 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a centre-back — best used in a system built around that identity.
