John Keaton Buckley
Attacking · Al Kholood · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — Buckley is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 7 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs, including a move abroad — 161 appearances, 6 goals and 16 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2021/22 at Blackburn — Season rating 50, 3 goals and 7 assists in 42 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 39 points at Al Kholood. Form is on a climb — up 43 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±18 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2025/26 (Pro League) and kept playing — 31 games that season.
