Across 23 matches in three competitions, Porter has built a profile defined above all by his work rate in defence, averaging over five tackles per game and peaking at 21 in a single outing — numbers that point to a lock heavily trusted to carry defensive load. His carrying game is measured rather than prominent, contributing consistently without dominating ball-in-hand statistics, which reflects the disciplined, set-piece-orientated role typical of a lock operating within a structured forward unit.
Born on 22 July 1996, Gary is 30 years old, stands 198cm (6′6″) tall and weighs 114kg.
