Scout report
★ Standout performer
All Premiership standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the Premiership: on the pitch for 89% of Heart Of Midlothian's available minutes this season, up from 24% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Z. Clark is a 34-year-old goalkeeper at Heart Of Midlothian, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 4 appearances, a Season grade of 28. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.6. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (36.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clark.
On the season, Clark graded 28 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets across 4 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 34 Clark is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Heart Of Midlothian finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
2 clean sheets in 4 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 11.6 overall — below regular-starter level. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
