Across four Premiership appearances as a replacement, McArthur's output is heavily weighted towards defence, averaging four tackles per match and accumulating 16 in total. His carrying is minimal and has produced no gainline metres, suggesting his primary contribution when introduced is to shore up the defensive structure rather than carry ball. At his best in a single outing he delivers six tackles and three carries, underlining a role built on physicality and work-rate over ball-in-hand impact.
