All League One standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League One: on the pitch for 75% of Peterborough's available minutes this season, up from 11% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
Bolu Shofowoke is a 18-year-old central midfielder at Peterborough, rated 42.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 71st of 213 on scout potential in the League One and 74th of 163 U-19 players tracked. A teenage prospect, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shofowoke.
Judged on this season alone, Shofowoke graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.181 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 22% of the 42 central midfielders in the League One. At 18 Shofowoke is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.1 reflects that trajectory.
Shofowoke is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Peterborough finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 11% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.4, Shofowoke carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
