Ryan Wylie

Ryan Wylie is a Gaelic footballer who plays for Ballybay Pearse Brothers (where his brothers Brent and Drew play with him), UCD and at senior level for the Monaghan county team.[1] He took over as captain of Monaghan in 2020[2] and was captaining Monaghan in 2020 when COVID-19 came along.[3] He was captaining them again in 2021 when the community numbed with the under-20 car crash.[4]

He is a brother of Drew.[5] He works as Radiographer in the Mater Hospital and they come from a Protestant family,[6] as Cavan midfielder Gearoit McKiernan cruelly reminded them in the 2015 Dr McKenna Cup, instant red card for McKiernan from Sean Hurson over that, then a ban for bad language over what is believed to be a first, a red card used for racist or sectarian abuse.[7]
