Scout report
S. Nombe is a 28-year-old winger at Rotherham, enjoying a standout season — 12 goals and 2 assists in 31 appearances, a Season grade of 33, top 93% of League One wingers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 32.9, ranking 87th of 213 in the League One. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (58.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nombe.
Judged on this season alone, Nombe graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 14 of the 14 wingers in the League One, on 12 goals and 2 assists in 31 appearances (0.521 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 30). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 9th of 14 of the 14 wingers in the League One. At 28 Nombe is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Rotherham finished 23rd of 24 · a relegation-threatened side
12 goals in 31 appearances (0.39 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (23rd of 24), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone. Add 2 assists for 14 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.45 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.5% 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 32.9, Nombe carries the 9th-highest potential of the wingers in the League One of 14, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rotherham 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 productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
