Across 40 matches his carrying load and metres gained point to a centre used consistently as a primary ball-runner, bringing hard yards rather than opportunistic touches. His tackle numbers are equally telling — averaging over four per match with a recorded single-game peak of 12 — suggesting he contributes heavily on both sides of the ball rather than operating as a specialist attacker. That one player-of-the-match award across a demanding spread of competitions hints at a player whose value is cumulative and functional rather than built on isolated showpiece performances.
