Ryan George Henson Loft (born 14 September 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Cambridge United.

Loft began his senior career at Tottenham Hotspur, having previously been a part of the youth-team set-up at Dartford and Ebbsfleet United. He never played a first-team game for Spurs but instead had brief loan spells with Braintree Town, Stevenage and Exeter City. He then spent 2018 to 2020 at Premier League club Leicester City, though only featured for the under-23 team in the EFL Trophy. He spent the 2019–20 season on loan at Carlisle United and signed with Scunthorpe United in August 2020 following his release from Leicester. He scored 15 goals in 62 games before securing a move to Bristol Rovers for around £50,000 in January 2022. Rovers would secure promotion out League Two at the end of the 2021–22 season and then sell Loft to Port Vale in September 2023. He joined Cambridge United for an undisclosed fee in July 2024.
