Across 24 appearances as a replacement, Cole's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution, averaging close to three tackles per game and accumulating 64 in total across roughly 580 minutes of action. His carrying is minimal and functional rather than impactful, but his best individual performances — up to 11 tackles and three carries in a single match — show he can raise his work rate considerably when called upon. The numbers paint a picture of a specialist impact forward whose value lies in defensive solidity rather than ball-in-hand threat.
