Across 14 appearances as a replacement, Jurd has shown consistent impact with the ball in hand and a dependable defensive work rate that suggests he is trusted to stabilise phases late in matches. His carrying numbers point to a player who takes the ball to contact purposefully rather than seeking space, while his tackling output — peaking at 10 in a single game — shows he can shoulder a heavy defensive load when required. The combination of these traits paints a picture of a utility forward who contributes reliably across both facets without dominating either.
