Scout report
H. Nakahara is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Shimizu S-pulse, rated 25.2 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nakahara.
On the season, Nakahara graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals and 2 assists in 26 appearances (0.363 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 30 Nakahara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 26 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 25.2 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
