John Ryan was born in Dublin on February 27 1968 is currently the manager of Kildare County [http://www.kildarecountyfc.com/management/index.asp] .

Playing career

He played for Bray Wanderers in two different spells 1988-1991 and 1998-2001 scoring 44 goals in 145 appearances.

Ryan is probably best known for the hat-trick he scored while playing with Bray in the 1990 FAI Cup final. It was the first FAI Cup Final to be played at Lansdowne Road in 1990. That year a crowd of over 30,000 saw Bray Wanderers defeat non-league club, St Francis F.C., 3-0. John Ryan won two FAI Cup winners medals, First Division title in 1999/2000 and two Leinster Senior Cup runners-up medals in 1988/89 & 1989/90.

John holds the club record at Bray Wanderers for most league goals in a season when he scored 16 goals in the 1989/90 season. He also shares the record of most goals scored in a season in all competitions: 20 goals. John set the record originally in the 1988/89 season before Kieran O’Brien equalled it in the 1995/96 season. John Ryan is Bray Wanderers fifth highest goalscorer of all time while his current assistant manager at Kildare County, Barry O’Connor is the sixth highest goalscorer with 43 goals. Interestingly the positions are reversed for league goals with Barry having scored 38 as opposed to 34 for John.

Ryan signed for Kildare County as a player in 2002. He became assistant manager to Eric Hannigan in 2003 having previously acted as caretaker manager for a single game after the departure of Dermot Keely and Gavin Dykes.

Managerial career

In 2004 Manager John Ryan was appointed coach to the Republic Of Ireland Eircom League Under-21 squad to compete in the Four Nations semi-professional tournament in Scotland. The side was managed by Bray Wanderers manager Pat Devlin. Frank O’Neill, Shelbourne’s Under-21 manager was assistant manager. John Ryan was joined on the coaching staff by Stuart Ashton of Cork City.

Ryan decided to resign as Assistant Manager citing personal reasons in 2004 before being named as the clubs new manager two weeks later with former team mate Barry O'Connor as assistant manager [http://www.kildarecountyfc.com/news/news-details.asp?NewsID=437] . He led Kildare County to 8th position in Division One in his first season in charge, their lowest finishing position to date. Kildare County finished in 7th under his management in 2006.
