Glenn Andrew Ryan (born 8 December 1962) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for Manly-Warringah and the Canberra Raiders in the NSWRL competition.
Background[edit]
Ryan was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Playing career[edit]
Ryan debuted for Manly in 1983 and started on the bench in that year's grand final loss to Parramatta, in what was his sixth first-grade appearance.[citation needed]
A second-rower, he became a regular fixture in the Manly team in 1984 and 1985, before injury struck. He missed the entire 1986 season with a groin injury and made only three first-grade appearances in 1987 missing out on playing in the premiership winning team that year, after which he spent the off season in England playing for Hull Kingston Rovers.[2]
Ryan, who in 1989 represented NSW City in the annual City vs Country Origin fixture, continued playing for Manly until 1990.[citation needed]
He joined Canberra in 1991 and after only one season left to captain-coach local club Tuggeranong.[3]
