Across 54 matches in three major competitions, Engelbrecht's output is defined above all by his defensive workload — averaging close to seven tackles per game and peaking at 24 in a single outing, figures that point to a player relied upon heavily at the breakdown and in open defence. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing reliably on short-range work without dominating ball-in-hand. Five tries over that sample adds a modest but real threat closer to the line.
