Kyle Wootton

Kyle Wootton, leading the line for Stockport County, embodies the quintessential centre-forward with a knack for positioning and an eye for goal. At 28, he's in his prime, blending experience with a keen instinct for chance creation. His ability to recover the ball is noteworthy for a forward, hinting at a player who thrives in pressing situations and contributes defensively when necessary. Wootton's goal threat is evident, consistently finding himself in scoring positions, though his goal efficiency suggests there’s room for refining his finishing touch. While his ball retention could improve, impacting his ability to hold up play effectively, his progressive carrying indicates a forward willing to drive at defences and create space. However, his passing could be more incisive, often favouring simpler options. Overall, Wootton's style of play is that of a traditional striker with a modern work rate, making him a valuable asset in Stockport’s attacking arsenal.
