Matthew Robert Targett
Full Back · Middlesbrough · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs — 174 appearances with 13 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2020/21 at Aston Villa — Season rating 69, 0 goals and 2 assists in 38 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 37 points at Middlesbrough. Form is on a climb — up 37 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 32 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 6 fixtures missed through injury or absence. A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±25 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart.
