Ella Ryan

Ella Ryan returns to rugby with the ACT Brumbies in 2025 after a two-year stint with the Canberra Raiders in the NRLW and previously playing for the NSW Waratahs.

Born and bred in Canberra, Ryan first picked up a rugby ball in 2015 at high school, and from that moment, she was hooked.

With both talent and drive to match, she moved through the divisions, representing the Canberra Brumbies at a schoolgirl level in both 7s and 15s before making the jump to the Super Rugby Women's competition in 2019.

Ryan made her Brumbies debut in 2020, playing 11 games across three seasons.

She has also represented Australia in Rugby 7s at the Global Youth Sevens in New Zealand.

Off the field Ryan has a Certificate III in Fitness and works at 98 Gym in the nation's capital.
