Scout report
W. Keane is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Preston, rated 13.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (1.2% of available minutes). He brings 3.75 goal contributions per 90 (3.75 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Keane.
On the season, Keane graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 2 appearances (3.75 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13. At 33 Keane is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Keane missed 13 games through injury (muscle, injured) out of roughly 46 this season. The 2 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.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Preston finished 14th of 24 · a mid-table side
1 goal in 2 appearances (0.5 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 3.75 goal contributions per 90 (3.75 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 1.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13.3 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (3.75 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
