Across 45 URC appearances Ahern has built a profile defined by consistency rather than explosive peaks, averaging over six tackles per match and contributing steadily with ball in hand. His carry numbers sit at the workmanlike end for a second row, but his single-game highs — 13 carries and 18 tackles — show he can shoulder a significantly heavier load when the gameplan demands it. With ten tries from this sample he also offers a genuine aerial and driving threat around the contact area.
