Scout report
T. Kanamori is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Melbourne City, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 2 assists in 14 appearances, a Season grade of 15, top 80% of A-League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.1, ranking 155th of 193 in the A-League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (56.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.2 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kanamori.
Judged on this season alone, Kanamori graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 25 of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League, on 1 goal and 2 assists in 14 appearances (0.296 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 21st of 25 of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League. At 32 Kanamori is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Melbourne City finished 6th of 12 · a mid-table side
1 goal in 14 appearances (0.07 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.3 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- 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 8.1, Kanamori carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the A-League of 25 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
