C. Mahoney is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Barrow, rated 17.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 346th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (42.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mahoney.

Judged on this season alone, Mahoney graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 1.688 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 48th of 67 of the 67 central midfielders in the League Two. At 29 Mahoney is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (24th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.69 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.9, Mahoney carries the 48th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 67, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Barrow finished 24th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
