Ryan is an U17 Welsh International right-back who has just turned 18 in June. He made 7 appearances for the Newcastle U18s last season before being promoted into the U23s in January and making 4 appearances for them.

We would like to congratulate Ryan and hope that he has a tremendous career ahead of him.
