Guy was drafted in the 2nd round (22nd overall pick) of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft by FC Dallas. Despite being offered a developmental contract by Dallas, Guy sought a professional contract in Europe. He attended trials at a number of clubs, including Crystal Palace FC of England and Hannover 96 of Germany but in February 2007, joined St Patrick's Athletic of Ireland. He made his League of Ireland debut for the Irish club on April 6, 2007, coming on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of a 1–0 win over Galway United. He scored his first goal for the Saints on the 15th of July.

On July 17, 2008, Guy was written into the St Pat's history books as he scored the only goal in a UEFA Cup First Qualifying Round match against JFK Olimps Riga of Latvia, keying the club's first-ever away European win. On October 18, Guy scored a hat trick in a 3–1 win over Shamrock Rovers in the South-Dublin derby.

In 2009, Guy helped guide St. Pat's past Valletta F.C. & Krylia Sovetov Samara in the 2009-10 UEFA Europa League 2nd & 3rd qualifying rounds, however Guy's St. Pat's side lost to FC Steaua Bucureşti in the play-off round 5–1 on aggregate. Ryan Guy was voted the St Patrick’s Athletic Supporters Club Player of the Year for 2009. He made 44 appearances across all competitions and scored 6 goals. He scored the opening goal of the 2010 League of Ireland season, which was also the first ever goal in the Airtricity League.

His performance over 2009 and 2010 earned him a spot on the OT XI compiled by SoccerOverThere.com, ranking his performance relative to his league as one of the best 11 by an American in Europe. During the 2010 season, Guy was chosen for the League of Ireland XI who played Manchester United in the inaugural match in Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Guy currently holds the Pats record for most European appearances with 14.

In January 2011, he left St. Pats for "personal reasons" to return to his homeland. Upon his return to the US, Guy had a short stint with the San Diego Flash of the National Premier Soccer League, and trialled with the Portland Timbers and FC Dallas, before signing with New England Revolution on June 9, 2011 after a trial and recommendation from San Diego Flash head coach Warren Barton. He later went on to sign for NASL club San Antonio Scorpions. In 2016, he joined the North County Battalion as their player-coach.
