Vale: Jake Ryan

Subiaco FC and the wider football community is greatly saddened by the passing of Jake Ryan yesterday, after being struck by a train while running in Italy.

Jake played 12 league games and 26 reserves games between 2004-2006 and was part of the WAFL Reserves Premiership winning team in 2005.

Peter German coached Jake while at Subiaco from 2004 to 2006.

"He was the life of the party, he was outspoken, he was passionate, he was caring, he was popular," he said.

"When you think of Jake, you can't help but have a smile on your face, how he lived his life (to the full)," said German

Our deepest sympathies are with Jake's family and friends and the wider Subiaco footballing community.
