Ryan played from the interchange bench for Parramatta in their shock 2001 NRL grand final loss to the Newcastle Knights. After three seasons with the Parramatta Eels, the club was unable to retain Ryan due to the salary cap and the man known as 'Bobcat' accepted a deal to join arch-rivals the Canterbury-Bankstown for the 2003 NRL season.[6]
His second season with Canterbury-Bankstown was personally and professionally his most successful - with a return to State of Origin, selection at international level, and a premiership win in the 2004 NRL grand final for Canterbury over cross-town rivals, the Sydney Roosters. Ryan pulled off a try saving tackle on the full-time siren during the match on Sydney Roosters player Michael Crocker which won Canterbury the game.[7] Ryan also captained the Canterbury side in this match with regular captain Steve Price ruled out after sustaining an injury in the preliminary final against the 2003 premiers, the Penrith Panthers.
Ryan was selected in the Australian team to go and compete in the end of season 2004 Rugby League Tri-Nations tournament. In the final against Great Britain he played at second-row forward in the Kangaroos' 44-4 victory.
In 2005, Ryan became captain of the club following Price's move to the New Zealand Warriors.

He was the last 2004 premiership-winning player still at the club when he retired at the conclusion of the 2011 NRL season.
