On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 47th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 29 Delaney is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 18.3, Delaney carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 29, Delaney sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Delaney's projected Rating — 18.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
