Squad depthCentre-forward

H. Adelakun is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Doncaster, rated 25.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 374th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Adelakun.

Judged on this season alone, Adelakun graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances (0.308 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 39th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 30 Adelakun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.3 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.3, Adelakun carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
