Top 12 Players For Goals Outside The Area, League One 2024/25

6. Davis Keillor-Dunn – 4 from outside (Barnsley / Mansfield Town)

Davis Keillor-Dunn split the season between Barnsley and Mansfield Town, but his long-range shooting remained a constant. He struck four goals from distance across over 4,000 minutes.

The 27-year-old is well known for drifting into pockets of space and hitting early, accurate shots before defenders could close him down. His ability to operate as both a forward and an advanced midfielder gave him plenty of opportunities to test keepers from outside the box.

5. Ollie Rathbone – 4 from outside (Wrexham)

Ollie Rathbone’s energy and drive in midfield helped define Wrexham’s style in 2024/25. The 28-year-old, who covered enormous ground every week, added four goals from outside the area to his resume.

Known for his relentless work rate, Rathbone also showed he could contribute decisively in the final third. His long-range efforts were clean, often low and hard, and came at moments when Wrexham needed inspiration.

4. Ben Wiles – 4 from outside (Huddersfield Town)

Ben Wiles had an influential campaign with Huddersfield, regularly dictating play from central midfield and chipping in with four outside-the-box goals.

The 26-year-old combines clever positioning with an excellent right foot, often arriving late to shoot through crowds. Wiles’ long-range efforts weren’t just speculative — they were driven by sharp awareness and clean technique, helping Huddersfield control games from deep.
