Across 76 matches McCloskey functions as a workhorse centre, averaging over nine carries and nearly nine tackles per game — a combination that speaks to a player heavily involved on both sides of the ball. His carrying returns consistent yardage rather than explosive bursts, suggesting a physical, direct presence in the midfield. A single player-of-the-match award across that volume of minutes indicates his value is built on sustained contribution rather than individual headline moments.
