S. Malone is a 35-year-old central defender at Crawley Town, rated 6.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 464th of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Malone.
Judged on this season alone, Malone graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets and 3.504 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 73rd of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 35 Malone is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (22nd of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 6.6, Malone carries the 73rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Crawley Town finished 22nd of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 35, Malone sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Malone's projected Rating — 6.6 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.
