Across six appearances as a replacement, Brantingham consistently contributes on both sides of the ball, but it is his defensive output that defines him — averaging 7.5 tackles per match with a single-game peak of 13. His carrying numbers are modest in volume and gain, reflecting the limited but purposeful ball-in-hand role typically demanded of a forward coming off the bench. When the game requires physicality and defensive structure late on, he delivers with notable consistency.
