Ryan O'Leary (born 24 August 1987, Glasgow) is a Scottish professional footballer. O'Leary is the son of former Republic of Ireland international footballer Pierce O'Leary and the nephew of David O'Leary.
Club career
O'Leary attended St. Aloysius' College, Glasgow. He started his football career with Aberdeen and joined Kilmarnock for an undisclosed fee in 2005. After appearing sporadically for Kilmarnock due to injuries, Gordon Chisholm signed O'Leary for Dundee on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season.[1]
O'Leary left Kilmarnock when his contract expired in 2010 taking 9 months out of football for personal reasons. However, after failing to win a deal at Vancouver Whitecaps following a trial,[2] he returned to Kilmarnock and signed a short-term deal in March 2011.[3]
International career
In February 2007 he was named in a Republic of Ireland under-21 squad, but he declined, choosing to represent the country of his birth instead. He subsequently represented Scotland at under–21 level.[4]
