McCarthy has featured across 14 URC appearances, contributing four tries from a moderate carrying load that averages just over four carries per match — suggesting he operates within a structured, selective role on the wing rather than as a high-volume ball-runner. His per-game meterage is consistent, and his tackle contributions, peaking at five in a single outing, indicate he tracks back and engages defensively more than many wide players at this level.
