Career report
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2022/23Trending downBreakout: 2022/23StreakyStepped up 2021/224 clubs
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs, including a move abroad — 182 appearances, 56 goals and 8 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Middlesbrough — Season rating 68, 28 goals and 2 assists in 40 games. 2022/23 was the leap — Season rating up 45 points at Middlesbrough. Form has slipped 31 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 60 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±20 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2021/22 (Super League 1) and kept playing — 34 games that season.
