Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

M. Oxley is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Harrogate Town, rated 5.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 220th of 221 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 21st of 25 of the 25 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, 25th of 25 of the 25 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 36 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 36, 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 25th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 25 — 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).
