6 clean sheets in 24 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Game time. Only 49% 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 19.2 overall — below regular-starter level. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 32, Bonham sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bonham's projected Rating — 19.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
