Across 47 matches, Connors has built a profile defined by his defensive workrate, averaging over six tackles per game and accumulating 290 in total — numbers that point to a player consistently involved at the breakdown and in open defence. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, with his per-game averages suggesting a role focused on hard yards and support lines rather than ball-in-hand volume. His peak performances — reaching 17 tackles and 12 carries in a single match — confirm he can step up his involvement significantly when the game demands it.
