Edwards joined the WingMakers when he was 18 back in 2006, when Airbus were playing their football in the Cymru Premier and they finished 12th in the table. In his debut season, Edwards went on to make 32 Cymru Premier appearances.

From 2007 – 2012, Ryan went on to make 155 Cymru Premier appearances, as Airbus had a long stint in the league. In his second season, Ryan scored his first goal for Airbus in a 3-2 win against Cefn Druids at home, another goal followed the following season against Newtown.

In seasons 06/07, 07/08, 08/09 Airbus finished in 11th and 12th in the Cymru Premier, but after 4 seasons in the top flight of Welsh football, Airbus finished 7th in 2009/10 season and Edwards scored 3 including goals against Aberystwyth, Camarthen and Rhyl, as well as a second round goal in the JD Welsh Cup away at Lex XI.

2010/11 Season was a successful one for Airbus as they finished 6th in the Cymru Premier and they entered into a play off but they unfortunately lost to Aberystwyth 2-1, and as previous seasons Edwards was an ever present in the Airbus starting line-up.
The following season, was another successful time for the club, they finished 6th once again in the league with Ryan getting on the scoresheet against Camarthen and Newtown.

There was a run in the JD Welsh Cup in 2011/12, as they beat Wrexham AFC in the third round and wins against Afan Lido and Camarthen followed before losing to Cefn Druids in the semi-final. As per last season, Airbus played Aber in the Cymru Premier play-off and they narrowly lost out once again as they lost 1-0.

As the season come to an end in 2012, Edwards decided to end his first stint at the WingMakers as he made a switch to Bangor City, who had finished runners-up to TNS. Ryan spent four seasons at Bangor before he made the move back to Airbus in 2016.

In his first season back at the club, he had his best return in goals as he scored 6 goals in 29 appearances, but it was heartache for Airbus as they finished bottom and were relegated to the JD Cymru North.

In 2018/19 season, Ryan and Airbus won promotion back to the Cymru Premier, as they won the Cymru North title for a second time after a 4-0 victory against Holywell Town. It was a short stint in the Cymru Premier, as Airbus finished bottom of the league and were relegated back to the Cymru North after finishing the campaign bottom of the table with only 17 points.

After a season of no football due to Covid, Airbus were back in action in 2021/22, as they started there season in the Cymru North and the season ended with promotion back to Cymru premier as they were crowned champions with a total of 72, beating second placed Llandudno to the title. In this season, Ryan made 28 appearances, scoring a brace against Colwyn Bay, as well as a goal against Holywell Town in a 6-1 win. The return back to the top league was short lived as they were relegated back to the Cymru North as they finished the season with -6 points.

At the beginning of the 2023/24 season, there was a change in management as Mark Allen and Rick Chapman took the reins. Ryan was an ever present in the centre of midfield that season, until a nasty injury on his arm halted his season against Holywell Town, but he returned before the end of the season to help Airbus finish third in the league.

The following season proved to be successful for both Ryan and Airbus, and it was a new role for Edwards as he took on a player/coach role for the club. Airbus eventually finished second behind eventual league winners Colwyn Bay, who they pushed until the last game of the season. Unfortunately Ryan did miss about 8 games due to a hamstring injury but he was back in January to help the team as they battled on League and Cup fronts. Ryan went on to make 29 appearances that season in all competitions, with his only goal coming in a late win against Llandudno FC. After finishing runners-up in the league, Airbus went on to be crowned Northen and National winners in the Welsh Blood Service League Cup and also beating Holywell Town in the NEWFA Challenge Cup final, where Ryan picked up the man of the match accolade for a sterling performance in midfield.

Last season was a different one for Edwards, he started the season in the heart of the midfield with wins against Buckley, Holyhead and Penrhyncoch, followed by a 2-2 draw against Newtown at home. In this game, Ryan suffered a groin injury which was to keep him out for most of the campaign. He made a return for the last game of the season as he made an appearance as a substitute in Airbus’ 3-1 win over Llandudno
.
We would like to thank Ryan for his services over his two spells at Airbus, with his bright personality which made him a big character in the group. From playing in the Cymru Premier, promotion from the Cymru North, winning the WBS Cup and NEWFA Challenge Cup, his time at Airbus has been a very successful one.

Ryan has become the leading player in the most appearances for the club with 358 over his two spells with the club, and he will always be an Airbus legend! We would like to wish Ryan all the best in where his journey takes him next and hope to see him back at Airbus in the future!
