Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

C. Kavanagh is a 22-year-old centre-forward at Oldham, rated 31.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 109th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two and 2470th of 2874 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.27 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kavanagh.

Judged on this season alone, Kavanagh graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 10 appearances (0.273 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 15% of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 22 Kavanagh is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kavanagh missed 12 games through injury (shin) out of roughly 46 this season. The 10 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

2 goals in 10 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.27 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.4, Kavanagh carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 70 — though on just 10 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 (0.27 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
