During the 2015 Allsvenskan season he was an unused substitute for the team, being the second choice behind Logi Valgarðsson in the left-back position. He however made his senior debut in Svenska Cupen, when he started in the 3–0 win against BKV Norrtälje. [7] During the pre-season for the following season, Valgarðsson picked up an injury, which opened a spot for Ring in the starting eleven. [8] He made his Allsvenskan debut in the premier game of 2016 Allsvenskan against Djurgårdens IF. [9] On 23 July 2016, he scored his first Allsvenskan goal in a 3–1 win against Falkenbergs FF. [10]

I’m really pleased to play at this high level. I’m very excited to be here and really looking forward to my debut, whenever that will be. I hope it goes well." [12] The following week he made his debut in a League defeat to Macclesfield Town. [13] [14]
On 22 December 2019, just under a year since joining the club, Ring was released by Grimsby via mutual consent having failed to hold down a regular first team place. He played 17 times for The Mariners [15]
Following his release from Grimsby, Ring returned to Sweden and joined Kalmar FF.
In December 2021, it was announced that Kalmar would not be extending Ring's contract and that he would be leaving the club after two years. Ring said "I have had the two best and most fun years of my career here. My family and I have enjoyed ourselves in Kalmar and I have really grown as both a person and a football player. These are incredible memories you bring with you from here with a tough last year with an anxious qualifier where we managed to stay" [16]
On 18 December 2021, it was announced that Ring had signed for Polish Ekstraklasa side Wisła Kraków on a deal until the end of the 2022–23 season. [17] Following Wisła's relegation, he exercised a release clause in his contract and left the team on 14 June 2022. [18]
