Output in context · Tochigi City finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
7 goals in 21 appearances (0.33 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.49 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 21.6, Hiraoka carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 39, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tochigi City finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
