super sub
Clutch backup player
A super sub is a substitute player, typically in soccer or other team sports, who has a reputation for making a significant impact when brought off the bench.
The term celebrates players who consistently perform well in limited minutes, often scoring crucial goals or changing the momentum of a game after replacing a starter.
He's become the team's super sub, always delivering when called upon late in matches.
