Hayden James Carter
Center Back · Blackburn · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
Past his 2022/23 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 3 clubs — 133 appearances with 11 goal contributions from defence.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Blackburn — Season rating 32, 1 goal and 0 assists in 30 games. Form has slipped 14 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 19 Season points.
2025/26 was disrupted — 28 fixtures missed through injury or absence. Season-to-season output barely moves — his form has stayed within a tight band (±7 points) across 6 campaigns. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (Championship) and kept playing — 30 games that season.
