Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Relentless defensive engine in the loose

Across 21 appearances, Dodd's output is defined by his defensive consistency, averaging over six tackles per match with single-game peaks of 19 — figures that point to a player heavily relied upon at the breakdown and in the collision. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, suggesting a role built around work rate and structure rather than ball-in-hand opportunity. The combination of sustained minutes and steady tackle numbers underlines his value as a dependable, high-effort loose forward.
