C. Stockton is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Salford City, rated 12.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stockton.

On the season, Stockton graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances (0.32 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 11). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 32 Stockton is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 32 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 5 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 12.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
