Across 15 appearances as a replacement, Pearson's output is defined by his defensive work rate, averaging over three tackles per match and reaching 17 in a single outing. His carrying numbers are modest in volume but he has shown the capacity to make a genuine impact with ball in hand when called upon, peaking at 9 carries and 24 metres in one game. His profile is that of a player who comes on and immediately contributes to the defensive structure rather than seeking to impose himself with the ball.
