Wasps have announced the signing of Ireland tighthead prop John Ryan, who will arrive at the Premiership outfit next season from Munster.

Ryan has played almost 200 games for the United Rugby Championship giants and will offer plenty of experience to Wasps in the coming campaigns.

He was part of Ireland‘s 31-man squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and has run out 24 times for his country, with Lee Blackett delighted to sign him.

Quality scrummager

“We are very pleased to be bringing John to the club for next season,” said the Wasps head coach.

“He is a quality scrummager, whose experience will be a significant asset for us in 2022/23.

“John has a huge amount of experience of being at the business end of competitions with Munster and Ireland.

“His desire to win things really grabbed my attention when we met with him. He is a real team player and will be a great bloke to have around the club next season.”

Ryan, 33, said: “I am delighted to have signed with Wasps ahead of next season. It’s an exciting challenge and one that me and my wife and kids are very much looking forward to.

“Wasps have a very exciting coaching team and playing squad. I hope I can add to their vision and goals over the coming years.”
