Scout report

Project playerGoalkeeper

M. Mahoney is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Barnsley, rated 44.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 481 on scout potential in the League One. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (67.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mahoney.

Judged on this season alone, Mahoney graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 35 of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One, on 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 2). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 26% of the 35 goalkeepers in the League One. At 24 Mahoney is in his prime years, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mahoney missed 5 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 46 this season. The 21 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.
