Ryan Sears (born 30 December 1998) is an English[1] footballer who plays as a right back for Shrewsbury Town.
Career
Born in Newtown, Powys, Wales, Sears was a youth player at Shrewsbury Town and scored twice to help them to the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup in 2016–17, while also being an unused substitute for the senior team in EFL League One three times around the turn of the year.[1]
He was loaned to his hometown team Newtown A.F.C. in the Welsh Premier League for the 2017–18 season. He played 35 total games and scored three goals across all competitions, including one in a 4–2 win at reigning champions The New Saints on 30 December.[2] He was voted the club's Players' Player of the Season.[1]
On 2 August 2018, Sears was loaned for a month to Shrewsbury's neighbours A.F.C. Telford United in the National League North.[3] After six games for the Bucks, he was recalled slightly ahead of schedule by Shrews manager John Askey, due to injury to starting right back James Bolton.[4]
Sears made his professional debut on 1 September, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–1 home draw with Bristol Rovers. After the game, Askey praised his performance as "perfect".[5]
