Scout report
J. Day is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Cheltenham, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 46 appearances, a Season grade of 16, top 42% of League Two goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.5, ranking 399th of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Day.
Judged on this season alone, Day graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 33 of the 33 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 11 clean sheets across 46 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 16). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 28th of 33 of the 33 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 35 Day is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Day is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
11 clean sheets in 46 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (18th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 13.5, Day carries the 28th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 33, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
