Across six United Rugby Championship appearances, Shenton's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging close to five tackles per match and peaking at ten in a single game. His carrying is limited in both frequency and gain, suggesting he is deployed primarily as a breakdown and defensive specialist rather than a ball-carrying threat. The minutes he accumulates reflect consistent selection in that defensive role rather than as an attacking option.
