Across 24 matches Nel consistently contributes both with and without the ball, averaging nearly seven tackles per game while also offering a reliable carrying option close to the gain line. His defensive output is the standout metric, with an 18-tackle single-game peak pointing to his capacity to shoulder a heavy workload when the team needs it most. He rarely drifts out of the fight — the minutes accumulated across three competitions underline a player who is trusted to stay on the field and do the unglamorous work.
