Hayden Rhys Hackney
Central · Middlesbrough · season-by-season, by competition, and every match.
A career still climbing — Hackney is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
The record covers 6 seasons (2021/22–2025/26) across 2 clubs — 168 appearances, 14 goals and 16 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2025/26 at Middlesbrough — Season rating 55, 5 goals and 7 assists in 39 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 35 points at Middlesbrough. Form is on a climb — up 40 Season points across his last 3 full seasons.
2025/26 was disrupted — 10 fixtures missed through injury or absence. 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 (Championship) and kept playing — 36 games that season.
