Career

Ryan first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Ardscoil Rís in Limerick.

Ryan later received a scholarship to Mary Immaculate College and has lined out with them in the Fitzgibbon Cup.

At club level, Ryan first played hurling at underage levels with Cratloe, before eventually progressing to the club's senior team. He first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare at minor level in 2017, before later being included on the under-21 side. Ryan made his senior team debut in the pre-season Munster League in 2018.

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.
