Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

J. Marquis is a 34-year-old centre-forward at Shrewsbury, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 0 assists in 36 appearances, a Season grade of 11, top 71% of League Two centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.7, ranking 435th of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (59.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Marquis.

Judged on this season alone, Marquis graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 36 appearances (0.11 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 57th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 34 Marquis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 36 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.11 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.7, Marquis carries the 57th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 70, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shrewsbury finished 19th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.11 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
