Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

C. Hayes is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Peterborough, rated 44 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 134th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hayes.

Judged on this season alone, Hayes graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 33 appearances (0.423 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 14). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, 34th of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the League One. At 23 Hayes is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.8 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 33 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.18 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.21 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.8% 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 44, Hayes carries the 34th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the League One of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Peterborough finished 18th of 24) — 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 (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
