Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

M. Oxley is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Harrogate Town, rated 5.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 133rd of 134 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (14.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Oxley.

Judged on this season alone, Oxley graded 1 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 7 of the 7 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 7 → 1). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 5, 7th of 7 of the 7 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 35 Oxley is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

1 clean sheet in 8 appearances (13% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 14.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 5.4, Oxley carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 7 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
