Scout report
L. Sutton is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Harrogate Town, rated 16.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 97th of 134 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sutton.
Judged on this season alone, Sutton graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the League Two, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.696 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 24th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the League Two. At 29 Sutton is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Harrogate Town finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.9% 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 16.4, Sutton carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 32 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
