Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 39). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 35th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 27 Hirst is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Hirst missed 4 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 46 this season. The 42 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.
A career still climbing — Hirst is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.6 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
