Ryan is an experienced and talented seam-bowling all-rounder with a World Cup winner's medal to his name. , over 20 first-class appearances for the Windward Islands and a Caribbean Premier League contract with the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. A genuine professional with more than eight years of professional cricket behind him, he has consistently taken wickets and scored runs, proving to be a valuable asset to his team. He is the kind of overseas signing who strengthens a side twice over, leading the attack with the new ball and adding real substance to the middle and lower order.
With the ball he is a skilful, attacking seamer who bowls with good pace and moves it both ways, and bowls a good attacking line and length, perfect for English conditions. Just as valuable is his control. An economy rate of less than 3.00 across his first-class career tells everything he needs to know: Ryan builds pressure, dries up the runs and thus creates wicket taking opportunities.
With the bat he is far more than a tailender. He reads the game well, and can either play aggressively to swing a match or dig in and build a partnership when the side needs steadying. His batting ability is backed up by a First Class century and two half centuries.
In 2016 he was part of the West Indies squad that won the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, and in the final against an India side featuring future internationals such as Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan and Washington Sundar he took 3 for 38 as India were bowled out for 145, setting up the West Indies' first ever title at that level. He went on to make his List A debut for the Windward Islands in 2018 and his first-class debut in 2020, and has been a regular in the Volcanoes side ever since. His best first-class figures stand at 8 for 45.
His finest all-round performance came against the Leeward Islands in March 2025. Coming in at number eight, he struck 109 off 178 balls with 11 fours and 3 sixes to drive the Windwards to 480, then took 4 for 42 and 2 for 21 as the Leewards were dismissed twice and beaten by an innings and 60 runs. A century and six wickets in the same match is exactly what a club signs an all-rounder for. It came on the back of his selection by the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for the 2024 Caribbean Premier League.
That background means Ryan arrives with the habits of a professional. He has spent years training and playing alongside international cricketers, understands how to prepare and how to perform under pressure, and brings that standard into every dressing room he joins. For a club's younger players, the chance to learn from a World Cup winner who has played first-class and franchise cricket is a real asset, and his experience makes him a valuable addition to any junior and development programme.
Ryan is a consistent performer with both bat and ball and is ready to make his mark in English club cricket. A new-ball bowler who moves it both ways and keeps the scoring tight, a batter capable of first-class hundreds and a proven big-game player, he adds depth to the starting XI and gives a captain options in every phase of the game. He is a signing that will make a club stronger on and off the field.
