Ahmed carries the ball with genuine regularity for a fly half, averaging close to eight carries and 55 metres per match across three U20 Championship appearances, which points to an active, ball-in-hand presence at ten. His defensive workload is equally striking — nearly ten tackles per game, with a standout return of 14 in a single match — suggesting he is asked to function as a genuine defensive linchpin rather than a traditional stand-off who drifts out of contact.
