Career
Ryan first played hurling at club level with Moycarkey–Borris. He was part of the club's senior team that won Mid Tipperary SHC titles in 1965 and 1967.[1] Ryan was also part of the Moycarkey team beaten by Thurles Sarsfields in the 1962 Tipperary SHC final.[2]
At inter-county level, Ryan first played for Tipperary as part of the minor team that won three consecutive Munster MHC titles between 1954 and 1956.[3] Two of these wins were later converted into All-Ireland MHC medals, with Ryan captaining the team to victory in 1956 in what was his last game in the grade.[4]
Ryan made his senior team debut in 1958. He later dropped back to the intermediate team and won a Munster IHC medal in 1961.[5] Ryan was recalled to the senior team following this and was a non-playing substitute for Tipperary's All-Ireland SHC title win in 1961.[6] Ryan remained a peripheral figure with the team over the following few seasons, however, he was again listed amongst the substitutes for the defeat of Kilkenny in the 1964 All-Ireland final.[7]
