Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Still struggling to settle into the squad
Moderate
Cause
He has not yet made the connections that come naturally to most signings.
Has announced his retirement
Minor
Cause
A shrinking role pushed him toward calling it a day.; He is deep into the late stage of his career.; His playing role has shrunk sharply.
Asked the manager for a private conversation
Moderate
Cause
His relationship with the manager has soured. Manager trust is low. He has already raised this with the manager recently.
Outlook
Contract request risk increased.
Worried by competition from a new signing Joe Brayson
Serious
Cause
A much younger rival has arrived in his position. He was already short on minutes before the signing arrived.
