On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 55th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 30 Southam-Hales is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
