3. Tomoki Iwata – 4 from outside (Birmingham City)
Tomoki Iwata gave Birmingham City steel and subtlety in midfield, balancing his defensive duties with surprising shooting prowess. The 28-year-old scored four times from outside the box, all with excellent technique and timing.
His ability to stay composed under pressure and pick his spot made him a real asset in possession-heavy matches. Iwata’s calm presence and ability to contribute goals made him one of the league’s most reliable midfielders.
2. Louie Barry – 5 from outside (Stockport County)
Louie Barry thrilled Stockport fans all season with his speed, flair and ability to strike from range. Despite playing under 2,000 minutes, the 21-year-old managed five long-range goals — a league-leading return among wide forwards.
Barry’s confidence in running at defenders, cutting inside and shooting gave Stockport a dynamic edge. His goals were often decisive, and he’s rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about young players in the country.
1. Lewis Wing – 6 from outside (Reading)
Lewis Wing was League One’s most prolific long-range scorer in 2024/25, netting six goals from outside the penalty area. The 30-year-old Reading midfielder consistently found space in deep areas and struck the ball with pace and accuracy.
His technique when shooting from distance has long been a feature of his game, but this season he reached another level. Wing’s goals weren’t just eye-catching — they were often match-defining, giving Reading a crucial outlet from midfield when other avenues were closed off.
