Scout report

Project playerAttacking midfielder

C. McCann is a 24-year-old attacking midfielder at Barrow, rated 31.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 33rd of 221 on scout potential in the League Two. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (66.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McCann.

Judged on this season alone, McCann graded 17 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 8 attacking midfielders in the League Two, on 5 goals and 1 assist in 34 appearances (0.197 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 32 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 4th of 8 of the 8 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 24 McCann is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 34 appearances (0.15 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.2 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 31.2, McCann carries the 4th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 8, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
