Across 14 United Rugby Championship appearances, Cooney has built a consistent profile as a ball-carrying midfielder, averaging over six carries and 26 metres per match. His tackle numbers sit alongside that carrying workload, suggesting he contributes meaningfully at both ends of the breakdown rather than specialising purely in attack. Peak outings of 14 carries and 62 metres in a single game indicate he can step up his involvement when the occasion demands.
