Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

K. Dennis is a 36-year-old centre-forward at Tranmere, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 1 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 61% of League Two centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.7, ranking 462nd of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (24.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dennis.

Judged on this season alone, Dennis graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two, on 4 goals and 1 assist in 25 appearances (0.479 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 64th of 70 of the 70 centre-forwards in the League Two. At 36 Dennis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dennis missed 4 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 46 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

4 goals in 25 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.48 goal contributions per 90 (0.38 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 6.7, Dennis carries the 64th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the League Two of 70, 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 productive contributor (0.48 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
