Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

M. O’Leary is a 30-year-old goalkeeper at West Brom, rated 36 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 207th of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (47.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on O’Leary.

Judged on this season alone, O’Leary graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 25th of 41 of the 41 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 30 O’Leary is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 11 appearances (18% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% 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 36, O’Leary carries the 25th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 41 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
