Across 21 appearances as a replacement, Spagnolo has built a profile defined overwhelmingly by defensive work, averaging 3.5 tackles per outing and peaking at 11 in a single game. His carrying numbers are modest — just under three carries a match — suggesting his primary contribution on arrival is to stabilise the defensive line rather than provide ball-carrying impact. The consistency of his tackle output across three different competitions points to a specialist role where defensive reliability is the clear priority.
