Scout report
J. Aitchison is a 26-year-old winger at Exeter City, rated 39.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 230th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (59.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aitchison.
Judged on this season alone, Aitchison graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the League One, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 44 appearances (0.183 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 9th of 17 of the 17 wingers in the League One. At 26 Aitchison is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Exeter City finished 21st of 24 · a lower-table side
1 goal in 44 appearances (0.02 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.11 per appearance).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0.18 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.4, Aitchison carries the 9th-highest potential of the wingers in the League One of 17, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Exeter City finished 21st of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.18 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
