Career report
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Peak: 2023/24Holding levelBreakout: 2023/24StreakyStepped up 2024/254 clubs
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2024/25) across 4 clubs, including a move abroad — 170 appearances with 2 goal contributions as a goalkeeper.
His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Blackpool — Season rating 45, 0 goals and 0 assists in 45 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 38 points at Blackpool. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (7 → 1). The gap to his peak is 45 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2024/25 (Championship) and kept playing — 43 games that season.
