Central · Rochdale · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 4 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs — 76 appearances, 3 goals and 6 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Exeter City — Season rating 40, 2 goals and 6 assists in 45 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 27 points at Exeter City. Form has slipped 12 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 39 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (League One) and kept playing — 45 games that season.
