Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

S. Smith is a 25-year-old attacking midfielder at Barrow, rated 27.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 228th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (45.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Smith.

Judged on this season alone, Smith graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 56th of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 29 appearances (0.048 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 5). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 34th of 60 of the 60 attacking midfielders in the League Two. At 25 Smith is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 29 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.05 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 27.4, Smith carries the 34th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League Two of 60, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th 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 (0.05 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
