On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.1, ranking 181st of 225 in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (69.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.14 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mandron.

Judged on this season alone, Mandron graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 30 centre-forwards in the Premiership, on 4 goals and 5 assists in 37 appearances (0.322 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 26th of 30 of the 30 centre-forwards in the Premiership. At 31 Mandron is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

4 goals in 37 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.24 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, 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 24.1, Mandron carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premiership of 30, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — 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 (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
