Salvanti's workload across three Championship appearances paints a picture of a lock who earns his minutes through consistent, unglamorous graft on both sides of the ball. His tackle numbers stand out most — averaging seven per match with a peak of fourteen in a single game, he brings genuine defensive reliability at set-piece and breakdown. His carry contribution is steady rather than explosive, suggesting a player who prioritises contact efficiency and support work over line-breaking ambition.
