Ryan Stuart Clayton Inniss (born 5 June 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre back for National League club Forest Green Rovers.
[7] Standing in for the injured Troy Brown, Inniss made his professional debut on 27 August 2013 in Cheltenham's 2–1 League Cup defeat against West Ham United.
[12] On 10 January 2014, Inniss joined Conference Premier leaders Luton Town on a one-month loan, having been a "number one target" for "Hatters" manager John Still.
[15] On 14 February 2014, he joined League One side Gillingham on a loan deal lasting until the end of the season,[16] making his debut against Sheffield United in a 1–0 defeat.
[23] He collected five yellow cards in five starts during his stay at Vale Park, helping the team to concede just two goals whilst he was on the pitch, but his loan spell was not extended as he damaged his ankle ligaments during his final appearance.
[33] He had a difficult start to the campaign, and after returning to Southend following his release from prison he went on to dislocate his shoulder in an FA Cup defeat to Millwall, and was ruled out of action for three months following surgery.
[34] On 25 February, he was sent off for two yellow card offences in a 2–1 loss at Gillingham, though manager Phil Brown strongly criticised the decision and said it was "unbelievable refereeing".
[39][40] Inniss made his Crystal Palace debut on 28 August 2018, playing in the entirety of the club's 1–0 win at Swansea City in the EFL Cup.
[42] However, manager Roy Hodgson did not name him in his 25-man Premier League squad,[43] and three days later he joined Scottish Premiership side Dundee on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.
[45] He did manage to force his way back into the team in January, alongside Genséric Kusunga, after Darren O'Dea was suspended and Andrew Davies picked up an injury.
[48] On 31 August, he was praised[49] for his debut for Newport, being named in the starting line up and playing a positive role[49] in the 2–0 League Two win against Forest Green Rovers.
[50] His second appearance for Newport was as a 59th-minute substitute in the EFL Trophy 5–4 defeat against West Ham United U21s on 4 September, in which he was sent off for allegedly biting 18-year-old Reece Hannam.
[64] On 5 April 2022, he was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on AFC Wimbledon midfielder George Marsh just seven minutes after entering the game as a substitute.
[72] On 16 June 2023, Inniss joined recently-relegated League Two club Forest Green Rovers, where manager Duncan Ferguson said "he's the type of player and profile I feel we need".
[81] A vocal player, Cheltenham Town centre-back partner Steve Elliott described him as "a typical modern-day centre-half: tall, athletic and aggressive".
[84] He was released three days later after successfully appealing his sentence, which was suspended for 18 months; he was also handed 240 hours unpaid work, a £300 fine, and ordered to take part in a 20-day alcohol rehabilitation course.
