Across 12 appearances as a replacement, West has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging over four tackles per match in roughly 24 minutes of action each time. His carrying numbers are modest by design, suggesting his primary value on the field is as a reliable defensive presence rather than a ball-carrier. When called upon to carry, he has shown he can make an impact, with a best single-game return of four carries for 14 metres pointing to a player capable of shifting momentum in short bursts.
