Career report
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Peak: 2023/24Trending downBreakout: 2025/26StreakyStepped up 2023/244 clubs
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 191 appearances, 51 goals and 25 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Plymouth — Season rating 62, 19 goals and 8 assists in 46 games. 2025/26 was the leap — Season rating up 33 points at Middlesbrough. Form has slipped 11 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 11 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±20 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (Championship) and kept playing — 46 games that season.
