Across 20 appearances, McElroy's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work — averaging over seven tackles per match and topping out at 16 in a single game, he is a consistent presence at the breakdown and in the defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his primary value to Connacht lies in winning the collision defensively rather than carrying ball. The volume of minutes accumulated across Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby underlines his reliability as a front-line option in both competitions.
