Across 15 appearances as a replacement, Barron has built a reputation as a high-impact defender, averaging over six tackles per match with a single-game peak of 17 — figures that reflect consistent urgency whenever he takes the field. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary function is defensive reinforcement rather than ball-in-hand threat. The combination of 91 tackles in just over 500 minutes points to a player who hits the ground running each time he is introduced.
