Arriving consistently from the bench, Costley contributes a balanced blend of ball-carrying and defensive work across his six international appearances. His tackle numbers stand out as a defining trait, averaging over four per outing with a peak of eight in a single match, underlining the defensive urgency he brings when introduced. His carrying is purposeful rather than prolific, gaining meaningful metres on a limited number of touches each time he takes the field.
