Findlay's carrying volume across five Championship appearances marks him as a consistent ball-carrier in the tight phases, contributing meaningful metres each time he takes the field. His tackle numbers are the most telling feature of his game — averaging close to eight per match and peaking at fourteen in a single outing, he carries a heavy defensive workload for a hooker. The combination of reliable carry counts and that defensive output points to a player who stays involved well beyond set-piece duties.
