Broughton operates as a high-volume workhorse at number 8, consistently contributing both with ball in hand and in the defensive line across his 14 Super Rugby appearances. His tackle numbers stand out most sharply — averaging over ten per match and peaking at 20 in a single game — pointing to a player who shoulders significant defensive responsibility. While his carrying is steady rather than explosive, his ability to gain reliable metres through contact makes him a durable and dependable presence in the forward pack.
