Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

A. May is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Doncaster, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 15, top 82% of League One centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.5, ranking 199th of 213 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.35 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on May.

Judged on this season alone, May graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the League One, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 9 appearances (0.346 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 24th of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the League One. At 33 May is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.5, May carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 28 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.35 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
