Weight74 kg

PositionDefender/Left back

Former England U-21 international who has made over 150 appearances at club level. Having been hampered by injury in the 1999-2000 season Bryan found it difficult to get fixed up with a club last term despite having trials at several clubs including Carlisle and Brentford. He eventually joined Walsall on a short-term contract at the end of January to provide strength to a squad looking to win promotion. However his only first-team opportunities came in the LDV Vans Trophy games against Wigan and Stoke and he was released in the summer. At his best he is a tenacious left wing back who can overlap down the wing and cross the ball accurately.
