Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Slater.
Judged on this season alone, Slater graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 6 clean sheets and 2.982 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 18).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, top 13% of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 21 Slater is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Slater is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.5, Slater carries the 10th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two (top 13%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Harrogate Town finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 21, Slater sits on 8.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Slater's projected Rating — 32.5 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.
