Across 14 URC appearances, McLean functions as a genuine ball-carrier on the wing, averaging over 40 metres per match from nearly seven carries — a workload that points to regular involvement in the attack rather than a peripheral role. His peak output of 105 metres and 10 carries in a single match shows he can take on a leading carrying responsibility when called upon. Defensively, he contributes steadily with just over three tackles per game, suggesting he is not shielded from contact duties on his flank.
