Arnold's numbers paint a picture of a high-volume centre who contributes equally with ball in hand and without it, averaging over seven carries and seven tackles per match across ten Premiership appearances. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a peak of 12 tackles in a single game reflecting genuine willingness to put his body on the line. While his carry gains are steady rather than explosive, the consistency of his involvement across both phases marks him as a reliable workhorse in midfield.
