Ryan - who has 18 caps for the Socceroos - will challenge to become Nuno Espirito Santo's number one with Diego Alves still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury, and he is looking forward to the next step in his career.

"[I am] very happy and excited to be joining a club as big as Valencia," he told the club's official website. "I know that the club is a very important institution in the world of football, and that this move is a big step in my professional career.

"I was following Valencia in La Liga last season. They are a side with fantastic players, who had a great campaign and took fourth place in the league. Our main objective now is to qualify for the Champions League."
