Scout report

Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

R. Stewart is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Southampton, rated 37.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 400th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stewart.

Judged on this season alone, Stewart graded 36 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 9 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances (0.896 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 55th of 66 of the 66 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 30 Stewart is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 13.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Stewart missed 16 games through injury (hamstring, inactive) out of roughly 48 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

9 goals in 27 appearances (0.33 per game) for an upper-table side. Add 2 assists for 11 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.73 goals, 0.16 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.4% 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 37.5, Stewart carries the 55th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 66. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.9 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
