Ryan Tunnicliffe Profile
In order to acquire some more valuable first team football experience, Ryan Tunnicliffe signed on a six-month-long loan contract with freshly promoted Football League Championship club Peterborough United in the summer of 2011, and went on to make his competitive first team debut for The Posh when he took the field as a second period substitute for Lee Frecklington in a 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at London Road Stadium on the opening day of the 2011-12 season. A defensive oriented and tough tackling workhorse in the middle of the park, Tunnicliffe proceeded to play in 27 Championship matches for Peterborough United before he made his return to Manchester at the back end of the 2011-12 campaign. Tunnicliffe was given his senior debut for Manchester United as a second half replacement for Marnick Vermijl in a 2-1 League Cup Third Round victory against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on the 26th of September 2012, but struggled to get into the starting eleven under Sir Alex Ferguson. After further loan stints with Barnsley and Ipswich Town, he joined Fulham in the middle of the 2013-14 term after having made just two first team appearances for United. While at Craven Cottage, he was shipped out on loan to Wigan Athletic and Blackburn Rovers before he made a move to Championship new boys Millwall in the summer of 2017. At international level, Tunnicliffe represented England at youth levels, appearing for the under-16 and under-17 levels. Ryan Tunnicliffe: “When I came back from Peterborough United, I was not in the best of shape. Obviously, I did not play as much as I would have liked there and it took me quite a few games to get back into the swing of things to get match fit.”
