Goals / app

2 goals in 45 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.16 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.17 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.6, Smith carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Harrogate Town finished 23rd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.17 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
