Across 77 matches Lang has built a profile defined by steady, reliable output rather than explosive peaks — averaging over five tackles and six carries per game points to a centre who shoulders consistent defensive and ball-carrying responsibility. His best individual performances, touching 14 tackles and over 100 metres in a single match, confirm he can step up his workload significantly when required. The volume of minutes accumulated alongside those per-game averages suggests a player trusted to stay on the field and do the unglamorous work that holds a midfield together.
