In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (44.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.2 assists).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.8, Davison carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two (top 40%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tranmere 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 (0.34 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.
