The profile is a volume striker: high minutes and appearances across a full campaign, routinely the focal point of attacking moves rather than a secondary creator[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## Season form The 2022/23 ledger reads like a classic high-use finisher: 38 appearances and 3,176 minutes on the pitch[^fact-2] produced 25 goals and 2 assists[^fact-3]. Creative contribution from open play is limited recently — expected assists across the last five matches sits at 0.10[^fact-5] — but the raw output over the season remains significant[^fact-3]. Provider ratings across the campaign average 7.20, suggesting consistent match influence even when not scoring[^fact-4]. ## Availability & momentum Availability has been steady in terms of minutes logged across the season, but momentum has cooled. Across the last five appearances there are 0 goals, 0 assists and 188 minutes played, a clear dip from the season’s scoring rate[^fact-6]. The immediate stoplight is the latest fixture, a 0–4 defeat at Hearts where the player recorded 0 goals, 0 assists and a 6.40 rating[^fact-7]. That outing underlines the recent dry spell and a downward tick in single‑match impact compared with season averages[^fact-6][^fact-7]. ## What to watch The coming match represents a straightforward watch for whether minutes and position are preserved — the player’s season value has been driven by heavy pitch time and the chance volume that brings[^fact-2][^fact-3]. If selection keeps him on the pitch for long spells, underlying scoring capability from the campaign (25 goals) implies potential for a return to form[^fact-3]. Conversely, the recent sequence of 188 minutes without direct goal contributions and a low last‑five xA (0.10) flags a short‑term creative drought to monitor before projecting involvement or returns[^fact-6][^fact-5]. Finally, the most recent single‑match rating of 6.40 in that 0–4 loss is the clearest indicator that match‑by‑match influence has dropped below the season average and should be tracked across the next fixtures[^fact-7][^fact-4]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 35 years old · Netherlands · Attacker · current club St. Mirren.
