Across seven appearances as a replacement, Sodeke's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work — averaging over four tackles per match points to a player brought on primarily to shore up the breakdown and defensive line. His carrying is minimal and functional rather than threatening, suggesting his value lies in discipline and physicality without the ball. When called upon, his best individual performances show he can reach double figures in tackles, underlining his capacity to make an immediate defensive impact.
