After spending a second season with Coventry he joined the Oxford Cheetahs in 2004.[2] In between in 2003, he reached the final of the 2003 Speedway Under-21 World Championship.[4]

He did not ride in Britain again until 2007 when he joined the Belle Vue Aces. In 2008, he rode for the Edinburgh Monarchs in the Premier League and the following season doubled up riding for the Edinburgh and Swindon Robins in the Elite League.[2][5]

In 2011, Fisher moved full-time back into the Elite League, with the Coventry Bees.[6] In 2012, he rode in the Premier League for Plymouth Devils, and has signed to ride for Peterborough Panthers in the Elite League in 2013[7] and 2014.

Ryan retired from the sport after a final season riding the Edinburgh Monarchs in 2016.[8]
