Scout report
M. Craig is a 23-year-old full-back at Leyton Orient, rated 43.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 156th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (38% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Craig.
Judged on this season alone, Craig graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 62nd of 79 of the 79 full-backs in the League One, on 4 clean sheets and 3.486 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 27% of the 79 full-backs in the League One. At 23 Craig is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38% 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 43.2, Craig carries the 21st-highest potential of the full-backs in the League One (top 27%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leyton Orient finished 20th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
