Ryan started his senior career with Shamrock Rovers in the 2006 First Division season where he helped the Hoops to the First Division title and he was voted their Young Player of the Year for that season. He remained at Shamrock Rovers for their 2007 Premier Division campaign but first team opportunities were difficult to come by and he joined Longford Town midway through the 2007 season on loan. Ryan made 10 appearances for Longford Town and scored his first Longford goal against Drogheda United. Following the conclusion of the 2007 season Ryan did not have his contract renewed by Shamrock Rovers and became a free agent. In his time at the Hoops he made a total of 38 competitive appearances scoring once.
Ryan was signed up by Dundalk in December 2007 for their 2008 First Division campaign. In what was another successful season Ryan won his second First Division winners medal as Dundalk pipped Shelbourne to the title in dying seconds of the season. As Dundalk were making the transition to a full-time professional side for the 2009 Premier Division season Ryan was released by Dundalk at the end of the season along with the majority of their First Division title winning squad.
Ryan made a return to Premier Division football signing for Drogheda United in February 2009. He made his Drogheda United debut against former club Dundalk on 20 March 2009 at Oriel Park and he scored his first Drogheda goal against Galway United on 20 October 2009.[1]
Ryan departed Drogheda United at the end of the 2009 season and his next move would be to Shelbourne signing for the Tolka Park club on 3 February 2010.[2]
