To be honest I don't remember him having significant long term injuries. What I do remember is him being fifth (imo) in the pecking order for a first team spot, and in all fairness he didn't get much first team opportunity, which as around fifth choice is hardly surprising. In those games he looked OK but never looked good enough to force his way into genuine reckoning for the first team nor was he particularly 'tearing it up' in the A-team. As I say, on the evidence at the time, it was the right decision for both. Good luck to him too, he's come on no ends and proved his point, well done that man.
I think thats correct, the first choice pairing at the time was Hape and Harris, Ryan was nowhere near that level (still isn't at that level IMHO, hes closer and hes very good, but I'd take Harris or Hape of the time still). He needed 1st team to develop, went, got it, and did develop -well done Ryan, I'm glad he made it. But I don't remember any bradford fans at the time thinking it was a terrible decision, 20/20 hindsight is brilliant.
