Across 26 United Rugby Championship appearances, Fairbrother's workload is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive output — averaging nearly six tackles per match and peaking at 17 in a single game, he functions as a high-volume, reliable presence in the tight exchanges. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand demands placed on him rather than any absence of physicality, with his best carrying performance reaching nine carries in a match. The overall picture is of a prop who earns his minutes through defensive industry and consistency across a substantial body of top-flight rugby.
