An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Conlon.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 10). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 58th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 30 Conlon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.5, Conlon carries the 58th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
