Across 75 matches McCloskey operates as a high-volume workhorse in midfield, consistently delivering close to nine carries and over 30 metres per game while accumulating more than 2,300 metres in total. His tackle count is equally demanding, averaging 8.4 per match across competitions and peaking at 17 in a single outing, which underlines his central role in defensive structure. The combination of sustained carrying and tackling output over more than 5,000 minutes points to a centre built on physicality and consistency rather than occasional brilliance.
