Ryan Driver played regularly for Cornwall while trying to make his mark in county cricket, and after spells with Derbyshire and Worcestershire 2nd XIs, he made an inauspicious debut at the end of 1998 when he scored 0 and 5 as an opener for Worcestershire against Durham. After a poor 1999, he secured a regular place in the side in 2000 on the back of some decent scores, culminating in 64 against Sussex. However, it was to be his only first-class fifty in 11 games and he was released at the end of the summer. He moved to Lancashire where he again failed to do enough to command a regular place, although he did take 5 for 70 against West Indies A with his little-used medium pace in 2001. He continued to play Minor Counties cricket where he was very much an allrounder - in 2007 he took 8 for 63 against Cornwall - and at the same time he started turning out for Jersey. He was appointed Jersey's captain in 2009.
