Across seven United Rugby Championship appearances as a replacement, Butler has built a clear identity as a defensive contributor, averaging over three tackles per outing with a standout single-game return of 13. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, reflecting the controlled, low-volume impact typical of a specialist finisher, while his 183 minutes across those appearances points to consistent selection in that role. When called upon in the carry game he can produce, with a best of 22 metres from four carries in a single match showing there is threat there when the opportunity arises.
