Across 39 matches Beetham has been a consistent ball-carrier at full back, averaging just over five carries per game and accumulating close to a thousand metres in total — figures that point to a player regularly involved in attack rather than one sitting on the periphery. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis, which is typical for the position, yet his peak single-game outputs of 14 carries, 91 metres and 9 tackles show he can step up significantly when the contest demands it. The volume of minutes logged underlines his durability and his status as a consistent presence in the Cardiff back three.
