Scout report
S. Kingsley is a 32-year-old full-back at Heart Of Midlothian, enjoying a standout season — 2 goals and 1 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 24, top 42% of Premiership full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.9, ranking 207th of 233 in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (40.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.52 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kingsley.
Judged on this season alone, Kingsley graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the Premiership, on 7 clean sheets and 2.518 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 27th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the Premiership. At 32 Kingsley is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Heart Of Midlothian finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.9, Kingsley carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 33. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
