The 28-year-old joined Rimmy in July 2010
and made his debut on the opening day of the 2010/11 campaign. Ryan's now the second longest-serving member of David Cook's squad.

Since then, McCarthy's has gone on to make that central defensive berth his own and proven to be a fantastic addition to the club, with his consistent displays and reliability at the back.

McCarthy was a mainstay in defence with Glen Dinsdale, Adam Hutchinson, John Paul Fagan and Graeme Kershaw for Rimmy as the club set a clean sheet record (17) in the 2012/13 East Lancs League, West Riding County and Craven Cup winning team.

McCarthy in his 9th season with Rimington and has won 5 East Lancs Leagues, 1 West Riding County, 4 Craven and 1 Morrison Cups.

Manager David Cook said "He has been an outstanding member of our squad and for him to reach 200 appearances with us is testimony to just how highly he is regarded."

Congratulations Ryan.
