Ryan joined Leicester Tigers last season but in October the Premiership club announced that the back row was being stood down for 12 weeks due to concussion.

The Gonzaga college alumnus never appeared for the club thereafter and now Leinster have officially confirmed that their former player has called time on his playing career.
