Experienced headGoal-getting Centre-forward

F. Borini is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Salford City, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances, a Season grade of 10, top 74% of League Two centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.5, ranking 465th of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (15.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.26 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Borini.

Judged on this season alone, Borini graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 4 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances (0.792 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 66th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 35 Borini is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

G+A

Goals / app

4 goals in 29 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.26 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 6.5, Borini carries the 66th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 70 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
