Across 28 appearances, Hearle has shown steady involvement in the gain line, averaging just under seven carries per match and contributing meaningful metres with the ball in hand. His tackle numbers point to an active defensive role, and his peak outputs — 12 carries, 92 metres, and 12 tackles in a single match — indicate he can step up his workload significantly when required. The consistency across both competition formats suggests a player who holds his shape week to week rather than producing isolated performances.
