Across 17 appearances as a replacement, Jackson has built a consistent picture of steady, low-volume ball-carrying and reliable defensive work, averaging over three tackles per outing without ever overreaching his role. His best single-game outputs — seven carries and nine tackles — show he can lift his influence when called upon, while his overall numbers reflect a player who fulfils a precise, disciplined brief rather than dominating possession. The data points to a finisher who brings structure and defensive solidity in the phases that matter most.
