Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

K. Jackson is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Bradford, rated 18.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 427th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (39.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jackson.

Judged on this season alone, Jackson graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 14 appearances (0.314 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 47th of 60 of the 60 centre-forwards in the League One. At 32 Jackson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 14 appearances (0.21 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 18.5, Jackson carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60 — though on just 14 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 (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
