Taylor Gardner-Hickman Scout Report

In our latest scout report, we hone in on Taylor Gardner-Hickman, a promising yet enigmatic 22-year-old central midfielder playing for Bristol City. Always on the move, Gardner-Hickman merges traditional midfield duties with a slightly higher than average defensive responsibility. His notable ball recovery and interceptions, placed well into the top quartile, reflect an intuitive reading of the game and effective snapping at opposition’s heels in the Championship. His chance creation stands out—an emphatic 86.7%, making him a key architect in setting up goal-scoring opportunities. However, his goal threat follows suit at a significantly lower percentile, suggesting he's more the orchestrator than the executioner in attack. An intriguing tale unfolds in his passing metrics. While Gardner-Hickman boasts above-average assists per 90 minutes and successful dribbles, he seems to struggle progressing the ball through passing—with a low percentile in progressive passing. This, paired with his ball retention, suggests a player comfortable on the ball but yet to master the full range of passing artistry. Surprisingly, his forays into the attacking third are mostly limited, reflecting in his relatively low presence in the attacking penalty area. Instead, he seems most at home in the midfield third—balancing defensive duties with sparking attacks. Persistent vigilance characterizes Gardner-Hickman's discipline, encapsulated by a moderately high yellow card percentile. However, it's worth noting that his discipline doesn't infringe his role in being a ball magnet—with a higher percentile in touches, indicating his stake in orchestrating the play. Gardner-Hickman's player stats demonstrate both raw talent and potential areas for improvement. His style of play, replete with tirelessness and cunning ingenuity, makes him a boon for any suited team seeking midfield mettle. As he navigates and refines his game, Gardner-Hickman seems primed for ascension—a prospect to watch closely indeed.
