Caylan Vickers is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder at Barnsley, rated 46 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 481 on scout potential in the League One and 1335th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.15 assists).
