West Coast are investigating an incident involving forward Liam Ryan that ended up being attended to by police.

The incident, which involved a minor traffic accident, happened overnight.

West Coast released a statement on Monday morning saying they are still trying to establish the facts about the incident.

Ryan, who was selected with pick No.26 at last year’s national draft, has played six games for West Coast this season.

The 21-year-old has become an instant hit among Eagles fans for his spectacular marking attempts and talents at ground level.

Ryan booted seven goals in his first three games, before a serious ankle injury sidelined him for 10 weeks.

He has managed just two goals in three games since returning.

The goalsneak has been praised by his teammates for his sense of humour and fun nature.

In the lead-up to Saturday’s clash with the Crows, Ryan hid behind some training material in the Adelaide Oval change rooms before jumping out to give teammate Liam Duggan a fright.

And at halftime of the match, Ryan joined in with teammates Willie Rioli and Lewis Jetta for a short dance picked up by the change room camera.

Ryan gave the camera a grin and a wave afterwards.

Last year, he booted 73 goals for WAFL side Subiaco in a campaign that helped him attract the interest of West Coast.
