BENJAMIN OLD
Attacker · Saint Etienne · Ligue 2
“New Zealand winger who drives forward with the ball, not through it.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
B. Old rates limited: his value comes from reliable output across seasons and above-position production as a winger, but the trend has turned down. His best work came at Wellington Phoenix, and that peak now sits behind him.

Analysis overview
Old operates as a ball-carrier first, using his frame and close control to advance into dangerous areas rather than relying on the killer pass. His game is direct and physical; he wins space by running at defenders and keeping possession alive through traffic. A winger who beats people before distributing, not the other way around.
