Born in Borrisoleigh, County Tipperary, Ryan first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Tipperary minor team. He joined the senior panel during the 1937 championship. Ryan was a non-playing substitute for that year but was recalled to the team fourteen years later. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals and two Munster medals as a non-playing substitute.

At club level Ryan was a three-time championship medallist with Borris-Ileigh.

Ryan retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1951 championship.

In retirement from playing Ryan became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector with the Tipperary under-21 team between 1969 and 1970.

gollark: It's my scroll goals to have cool-looking things, and while I *kind of* like lots of them, I don't really bother to gather them.
gollark: I can do... precisely none of that, due to not actually having half those breeds as CBs.
gollark: I bet you can split the breeding across multiple people on here pretty well.
gollark: _also wants it now_
gollark: Well, this is very annoying. I think my sunrise/set is going to be at 4d juuuust outside of the time when it's allowed to hatch.
