Career report
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Peak: 2022/23Trending upBreakout: 2024/25StreakyStepped up 2022/23
The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 3 clubs — 196 appearances, 52 goals and 18 assists.
His best campaign on record is 2022/23 at Exeter City — Season rating 46, 15 goals and 6 assists in 42 games. 2024/25 was the leap — Season rating up 26 points at Rotherham. Form is on a climb — up 18 Season points across his last 3 full seasons. The gap to his peak is 9 Season points.
A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±16 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2022/23 (League One) and kept playing — 42 games that season.
