On long-term scout potential he's rated 24.1, ranking 174th of 219 in the Eliteserien. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (49.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.64 goal contributions per 90 (0.37 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Castro.
Judged on this season alone, Castro graded 29 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 13 wingers in the Eliteserien, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 17 appearances (0.642 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 13th of 13 of the 13 wingers in the Eliteserien. At 30 Castro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Castro missed 8 games through injury (leg, foot, thigh) out of roughly 30 this season. The 17 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook
With a Rating of 24.1, Castro carries the 13th-highest potential of the wingers in the Eliteserien of 13. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.64 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
