Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

J. Davison is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Shrewsbury, rated 24.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 131st of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Davison.

Judged on this season alone, Davison graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 10 appearances (0.131 involvements per 90).

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 13th of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 27 Davison is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 10 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.13 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 24.2, Davison carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 32 — though on just 10 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 (0.13 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.
