Ryan, a former Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College student played his junior rugby for the Moorfield club and joined the Vikings Scholarship scheme at 15 years of age and progressed through the club’s Academy to make his Super League debut for the Vikings in 2016. ‘Incey’ names his parents as the biggest influence on his career and pays tribute to his coaches and the senior players as he progressed through the ranks to gain selection for England Under 16’s against France in 2013, and selection for the Under 18 squad. Returning to his hometown club in 2022 Ryan cites the Magic Weekend experience in Newcastle and the dramatic season-saving win in Perpignan, both in 2017, as his career highlights while his ambition is to play regularly and enjoy his rugby. During 2024 Ryan made his 100th appearance for the Vikings and 150th career appearance while passing 350 career points. Combining his rugby with developing his bee-keeping business Ryan relaxes by playing on his X-box and going to the cinema.
