Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

J. Davison is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Shrewsbury, rated 22.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 126th of 245 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Davison.

Judged on this season alone, Davison graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 9 appearances (0.149 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 16th of 35 of the 35 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 27 Davison is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.15 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.7, Davison carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 35 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.15 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
