A. Taggart is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Perth Glory, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 25, top 36% of A-League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7, ranking 171st of 193 in the A-League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (62.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.13 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Taggart.

Judged on this season alone, Taggart graded 25 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances (0.445 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 25). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 22nd of 25 of the 25 centre-forwards in the A-League. At 33 Taggart is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

5 goals in 22 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.13 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 7, Taggart carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the A-League of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Perth Glory finished 10th of 12) — 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 productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
