Across 11 appearances, Leota's output is defined by his defensive workrate — averaging 3.5 tackles per match and peaking at 8 in a single game, figures that point to a prop heavily relied upon to clean up around the fringes. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand role typical of a forward used primarily for set-piece and defensive duties. When he does carry, his contribution is efficient rather than expansive, consistent with a player focused on holding his shape and doing the unglamorous work.
