Playing career

Cork Institute of Technology

As a student at the Cork Institute of Technology, Walsh immediately became involved in hurling by becoming a member of the institute's freshers' team before later joining the senior team. He has since lined out in several Fitzgibbon Cup campaigns.[1]

Kanturk

Walsh joined the Kanturk club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels as a dual player, before eventually joining the club's top adult teams in both codes.

On 7 October 2017, Ryan lined out at midfield when Kanturk qualified to play Mallow in the Premier Intermediate Championship final. He scored a point from play and ended the game with a winners' medal after the 0-17 to 1-12 victory.[2] Three weeks later on 29 October 2017, Ryan was also at midfield when the Kanturk intermediate football team faced Mitchelstown in the Intermediate A Championship final. He scored three points from play and claimed a winners' medal after the 0-14 to 0-13 victory.[3] On 19 November 2017, Walsh won a Munster Club Championship medal with the hurlers after lining out at midfield in the 1-23 to 0-25 extra-time defeat of Kilmaley in the final.[4] On 4 February 2018, he won an All-Ireland medal after scoring 1-02 from play in a 1-18 to 1-17 defeat of St Patrick's Ballyragget in the final.[5]

Cork

Minor and under-21

Walsh first lined out for Cork as a member of the minor team during the 2016 Munster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 6 April 2016 when he lined out at centre-back in Cork's 0-17 to 1-10 defeat of Waterford.[6] Walsh was dropped from the minor team at the end of the season.

On 3 July 2019, Walsh made his first appearance for Cork's inaugural under-20 team in a 1-20 to 0-16 defeat of Limerick in the Munster Championship.[7] On 23 July 2019, he scored a point from midfield when Cork suffered a 3-15 to 2-17 defeat by Tipperary in the Munster final.[8] Walsh was again selected at midfield when Cork faced Tipperary for a second time in the All-Ireland final on 24 August 2019. He ended the game on the losing side after a 5-17 to 1-18 defeat.[9]

Senior

Walsh first played for the Cork senior team when he was added to the panel during the 2020 Munster League.[10] He made his first appearance for the team on 20 December 2019 when he scored 1-02 from midfield in Cork's 1-27 to 0-11 defeat of Kerry.[11]
