Ryan Taylor (born 1995) is an Irish hurler. At club he plays with Clooney-Quin, while he has also lined out at inter-county level with various Clare teams.
Taylor first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Flannan's College in Ennis. He lined out for the college in all grades, including the Harty Cup.[1] He later played with NUI Galway in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[2]
At club level, Taylor first played hurling at underage levels with Clooney-Quin. He was part of the club's senior team that was beaten in a replay by Sixmilebridge in the 2017 SHC final.[3]
Flanagan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare at minor level in 2013.[4] He progressed to the under-21 team, with whom he spent two unsuccessful seasons.[5] In spite of having earlier been a member of the extended training panel, it was only in November 2017 that Taylor earned a call-up to the senior team.[6][7]
In 2023, Taylor suffered the "curse of the cruciate" also known as an injury to his ACL which would remove him from playing games for about nine months.[8] He expects to return at the end of May 2024.[9]
