Ryan originally arrived at Wincham Park in the summer of 2017 from Stalybridge Celtic but had his first season cut short after sustaining an injury at Marine, while he missed the entire 2018-19 campaign in rehabilitation.

He joined up with Linnets last summer and now returns to Wincham Park ahead of the New Year home fixtures against Nantwich Town on New Year's Day and Buxton on Saturday 4 January.

In other news, Will Booth has signed forms after his return to fitness.

The former Colwyn Bay midfielder picked up an injury in March against North Ferriby United but has worked hard to get back to full fitness and will be available for Carl Macauley's side for the start of the New Year.
