Ryan Green (born 20 October 1980) is a Wales international footballer who plays as a defender and is currently playing for Hereford. He is perhaps best known for breaking Ryan Giggs's record as the youngest player to be capped for the Wales national football team, a record which has since been surpassed. ==Career== Born in Cardiff, Green began his career as a trainee with Wolverhampton Wanderers turning professional in October 1997. He made his Wolves first team début on 10 November 1998, in a 2–1 victory against Sheffield United at Molineux. After 70 minutes he suffered a medial ligament injury which sidelined him for six months.〔 He struggled to establish himself at Wolves and joined Torquay United on loan in March 2001, playing ten times as Torquay successfully fought off relegation to the Conference. However he scored an own goal in the final game of the season, a 3–2 win away to Barnet which nonetheless resulted in Torquay surviving at Barnet's expense. He moved to Millwall on a free transfer in October 2001,〔(Green joins Millwall )〕 and almost joined Bradford City in 2002, a move scuppered by the financial impact on Football League clubs of the ITV Digital collapse.〔 Instead he joined Cardiff City on a monthly contract in November 2002, joining Sheffield Wednesday two weeks later. He was released by Wednesday at the end of the season, joining Hereford United in July 2003. In three seasons with Hereford he made a total of 117 appearances, scoring four goals. His first senior goal came against Telford United when, in the third minute of injury time, he ran the length of the pitch to get into a position to score the winning goal.〔(Ryan Green official PFA interview ) GiveMeFootball.com, 16 October 2003, retrieved 14 June 2009.〕 He scored his most notable goal in his final match for the Bulls, the 2006 Conference play-off final against Halifax Town. In the second period of extra time, he curled a shot into the top left corner of the goal, which secured Hereford's return to the Football League. However, he left shortly afterwards, on 31 May 2006, signing a two-year contract with Bristol Rovers.〔(Rovers bag Bulls' defender Green )〕 Green made 33 league appearances in his first season with the Pirates but suffered a nasty foot injury in the 4–3 defeat to Grimsby Town, which sidelined him for several weeks and ruled him out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final. A broken jaw and further Achilles tendon problems in a volatile match at Swindon Town ruled him out for the rest of the following season. A hamstring injury sustained in a pre-season friendly added to Green's injury nightmare.〔(Green looking to end Bristol Rovers injury jinx ) Evening Post, 20 October 2008, retrieved 14 June 2009.〕 His contract was not renewed, and he left the club on 8 May 2009. On 5 June 2009, Green re-signed for Hereford United on a one-year deal for season 2009–2010. Following the relegation of Hereford in 2012, Hereford did not offer Green a new contract.〔(Green rejoins Bulls from Pirates ) www.bbc.co.uk〕 In August 2012, he joined Welsh Premier League club Port Talbot Town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.welsh-premier.com/index.php/lead-story/5006-ex-wales-defender-green-joins-the-steelmen )〕 In June 2014 he joined Merthyr Town. In September 2015 he signed for Hereford.〔https://twitter.com/HTnewsroom/status/643433681734995968〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ryan Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
