Keighley Cougars can today confirm Adam Ryder will hang up his boots at the end of the 2025 Betfred League One season.
Adam has made a total of 180 club appearances for Keighley Cougars, Hunslet and Dewsbury Rams having made his debut for the Cougars in 2017 and one international appearance for Germany scoring a total of 87 tries throughout his career.
Head Coach, Alan Kilshaw said “I’ve enjoyed working with Adam and he’s a true professional. I’ve had him at Hunslet and now Keighley and the standards he holds himself to are second to none. Full respect to Adam, he goes out with his head held high after a stellar career in the second tier of professional Rugby League.”
Adam said “I want to thank every coach and fan I’ve played for and every player I’ve played with. I can hand on my heart say I’ve loved every minute of playing Rugby League and always tried playing with a smile on my face. It’s time for me to retire from the game before the game retires me and go enjoy some quality time with my family.”
Adam is sponsored by The Kindered Bizzare and fan sponsors, Kimm and Latisha Taylor.
