Ryan George Blake (born 8 December 1991) is an English former professional footballer who played as a left back in the Football League for Brentford. He was capped by Northern Ireland at youth level.

Career

Brentford

A left back, Blake began his career with League One club Brentford and signed a scholarship deal during the 2008 off-season.[3] He was an unused substitute on 19 occasions throughout the 2009–10 season and made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Yeovil Town on 24 April 2010,[4] when he replaced Lionel Ainsworth after an hour.[5]

Despite signing his first professional contract during the 2010 off-season,[6] Blake found his first team chances limited during the 2010–11 season and was an unused substitute on just four occasions.[7] He was loaned to Conference South clubs Woking and Ebbsfleet United during the season and made 16 appearances across both spells.[8][9][10][7]

Blake signed new a one-year contract to be part of the Development Squad for the 2011–12 season and spent much of the season out on loan at Conference South clubs Farnborough and Hampton & Richmond Borough.[6][11][12] He failed to feature at all for the first team under new manager Uwe Rösler during the season and was released when his contract expired in June 2012.[13][14]

Return to Ebbsfleet United

Following an unsuccessful trial with Lincoln City,[15] Blake returned to Conference Premier club Ebbsfleet United on a permanent contract during the 2012 off-season.[16] He made only eight appearances during his only full season with the club,[7] as Ebbsfleet suffered relegation to the Conference South.[17]

Chertsey Town

Blake signed for Southern League First Division Central club Chertsey Town in August 2013 and was awarded the captaincy.[18] He departed the club at the end of the 2013–14 season.

Kingstonian

Blake joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Kingstonian during the 2014 off-season.[19] He made 8 appearances, with his final match coming in early December 2014.[20]

International career

Blake was capped by Northern Ireland at U19 and U21 level.[21] He made his U19 debut in a 2–2 2010 European U19 championship elite qualifying draw with Russia on 23 May 2010, coming on as a 41st-minute substitute for Dean Jarvis.[22] Blake made his U21 debut on 3 September 2010, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute for Paddy McLaughlin in a 4–0 2011 European U21 Championship qualifying victory over San Marino.[21] He made his second U21 appearance in a friendly against Wales on 9 February 2011, starting the match and playing an hour before being substituted.[23][24]
