He was immediately called up to the senior team and won a Munster SHC medal in 1941.[3][4] Ryan won a second provincial title four years later before claiming an All-Ireland SHC medal after a defeat of Kilkenny in the 1945 final. He added a National Hurling League medal to his collection in 1949, in what was his last game for Tipperary.
