Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McLoughlin.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 47th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 29 McLoughlin is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 19, McLoughlin carries the 47th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 29, McLoughlin sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is McLoughlin's projected Rating — 19 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.
