Ryan East

Ryan is a midfield player who signed an 18-month contract with Dale in December 2023 after spending the first half of the previous season on loan from EFL League Two side Bradford City.

He has since extended that contract by two further years, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027.

The 28-year-old came through the ranks at Reading, but left the Madejski Stadium for Swindon Town in the summer of 2021.

East made 23 appearances in all competitions for The Robins in 2021/22 as they finished in the League Two play-offs, before moving to Bradford City during the following close season.
