Career
[edit]Ryan first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Ardscoil Rís in Limerick. Regarded as a late developer, he was overlooked for the Dean Ryan Cup team but was later vice-captain of the senior team that won the Harty Cup title in 2018.[1][2] Ryan later received a scholarship to Mary Immaculate College and has lined out with them in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[3]
At club level, Ryan first played hurling at underage levels with Cratloe, before eventually progressing to the club's senior team.[4] He first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare at minor level in 2017, before later being included on the under-21 side.[5][6] Ryan made his senior team debut in the pre-season Munster League in 2018.[7][8]
On 21 July 2024, he started in the half-back line as Clare won the All-Ireland for the first time in 11 years after an extra-time win against Cork by 3-29 to 1-34, claiming their fifth All-Ireland title.[9][10][11]
