Across 11 United Rugby Championship appearances, Cloete stands out primarily as a defensive force, averaging over six tackles per match with a single-game peak of 14 — numbers that point to a player who is heavily involved at the breakdown and in open defence. He complements that with steady ball-carrying contributions, consistently getting through his carries and posting 69 metres in his best outing, suggesting he can shift the dial with ball in hand when called upon. His five tries across the dataset add a poaching dimension that rounds out a well-rounded, high-work-rate profile at flanker.
