Output in context · Reading finished 12th of 24 · a mid-table side
16 goals in 24 appearances (0.67 per game) — a 15-goal haul playing for a mid-table side (12th of 24). He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 19 goal contributions (0.79 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.97 goal contributions per 90 (0.81 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.8 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.97 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
