Victory's match data tells a clear story of a replacement built around defensive reliability, averaging nearly six tackles per appearance across 13 matches and reaching 14 in a single game — numbers that point to consistent impact when introduced. His carry volume is modest but purposeful, suggesting his primary value lies in holding the line rather than generating go-forward ball. The combination of high tackle counts and limited minutes underlines a specialist role: hard-working, disciplined, and most dangerous when defending.
