Ryder is part of the young group of players that played in the first Ivanhoe Grammar 1st XVIII Premiership in 60 years in 2023.
He has been hugely consistent for us playing both wing and half back and has elite kicking and decision making skills.
Credit to Ryder that at 19 years of age he is averaging 25 possessions a game this year which puts him up amongst the top bracket in our competition.
He is a very well respected player amongst our entire group.
