Goals / app

6 goals in 14 appearances (0.43 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.64 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.84 goal contributions per 90 (0.56 goals, 0.28 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.4, Kenny carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League One of 60 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.84 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
