Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 66 matches Lewis-Hughes has built a profile defined by consistency in the contact zones, averaging more than nine tackles per game while still contributing meaningfully with ball in hand. His carrying numbers show a player who works through heavy traffic game after game rather than hunting highlight moments, and single-game peaks of 26 tackles and 17 carries confirm he can shoulder a significantly elevated workload when called upon. At over 3 700 minutes of action across three competitions, his durability is as notable as his output.
