Eoghan O'Connell
Center Back · Barnsley · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 4 clubs — 205 appearances with 11 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2024/25 at Wrexham — Season rating 61, 0 goals and 2 assists in 46 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 28 points at Wrexham. Form has slipped 24 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 52 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (League One) and kept playing — 20 games that season.
