Bio
Recruited from the Sandringham Dragons with pick 52 in the 2019 National Draft, Ryan Byrnes arrived at Moorabbin with a reputation as a prolific ball-winner at junior level. Initially breaking into the side as a rotation midfielder and high half-forward, he developed into a reliable link-man capable of operating on a wing or through the centre square. Known for his elite running capacity, clean hands in traffic, and ability to spread from the contest, Byrnes worked steadily to cement his place in St Kilda's best 22 despite stiff competition for midfield spots. By 2026, he had notched 80 senior appearances, serving as a disciplined utility player who provided essential transition running and flexibility to the Saints' lineup.
