Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier with defensive bite

Across 10 appearances Lane has shown consistent involvement with ball in hand, averaging over five carries per match and contributing meaningful metres from the back. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis, though a single-match high of seven demonstrates he can step up defensively when required. The data points to a full back who combines steady carrying work with the capacity to raise his output in bigger moments.
