Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

M. O’Leary is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at West Brom, rated 38.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 161 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45.1% 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 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 39 of the 39 goalkeepers in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets across 21 appearances.

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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 23rd of 39 of the 39 goalkeepers in the Championship. At 29 O’Leary is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.7 reflects that trajectory.

7 clean sheets in 21 appearances (33% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (21st of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.1% 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 38.2, O’Leary carries the 23rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Championship of 39, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (West Brom finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
