Born in Australia, Ryan McGowan began his career with Para Hills FC, before moving to Scotland to join the Hearts youth team in 2006. Ryan made his debut for the Edinburgh club on the final day of the 2007/2008 season against Gretna, however did not play for the club in any of the following 2 seasons, and spent 2009/2010 on loan to Ayr United.

After a further loan spell to Partick Thistle the following season, Ryan forced his way into the Hearts team. The defender made 38 appearances in 2011/2012 for Hearts under Paulo Sergio, scoring 3 times, including in the Jambos’ famous 5-1 victory over rivals Hibs in the Scottish Cup final.
