M. Power is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Bradford, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 5 assists in 45 appearances, a Season grade of 31, top 46% of League One central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 22.3, ranking 127th of 160 in the League One. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (93.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Power.

Judged on this season alone, Power graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the League One, on 0 goals, 5 assists and 2.377 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 31 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 22nd of 24 of the 24 central midfielders in the League One. At 33 Power is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 45 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 22.3, Power carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 24. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
