4 goals in 8 appearances (0.5 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.68 goal contributions per 90 (0.55 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.3, Harris carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 28 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.68 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.
