Like other players before, Ryan signs from Central Coast side Umina Bunnies where he has played since he was 9 years old.
When asked about joining the Mayhem, Ryan commented as follows:
"I basically wanted a new challenge and I've heard good things from Payney and Foley when they came over who i play with back home at Umina. Secondly, I heard Jay was coming over for a run this year and I haven't had a chance to play with him since the juniors back home so i was also keen for that. I've settled in really well here, the heat was a bit of a shock but i think i'm slowly getting into the routine here. We had the first training run and I got to meet all the boys a little earlier in the week as well and they have been really good."
When asked about the prospect of lining up this weekend against Central Florida Ryan said:
"I'm really looking forward to this weekend up against Central Florida. I knew last time we played them it was a bit of a messy game but we came away with the win so hopefully we can get the result again. From what I've seen from the boys at training yesterday i think we are in with a really good chance to do that and it will just be good getting onto the field with the boys and seeing what they can do first hand."
We wish Ryan and the rest of the boys all the best this weekend and hope you can join us in making the short trip along the I-4.
Kickoff is Saturday 9th 6:00pm at Spec Martin Stadium, Deland Florida.
