Rohan Anthony Ricketts (born December 22, 1982 in Clapham ) is an English football player . The ex-academy player of Arsenal FC, who can be used in midfield on both outer tracks , has so far been active as a professional in England, Canada, Hungary and Moldova, as well as Germany, Ireland, India and Ecuador.

Athletic career

Ricketts won the FA Youth Cup as a teenager in 2000 and 2001 with Arsenal FC , but stayed with the exception of one appearance in the League Cup against Manchester United . without a competitive game for the A-team of the "Gunners". It subsequently led the winger to Arsenal's bitter rival Tottenham Hotspur in 2002 ; He was only the fourth footballer in the club's history to take this step, as well as the twelfth player to appear for both clubs in the course of a career at this time.

In his first year with the "Spurs" he was still "left out", but then developed into a regular player in the 2003/04 season and received a contract extension for another year in December 2003. Through this increase in performance, Tord Grip, the Kotrainer of the English national team, became aware of him, but possible plans for a nomination in England's selection got a setback that his coach and sponsor Glenn Hoddle was fired in Tottenham and his assignments became rarer. In the following season 2004/05 both Jacques Santini and later Martin Jol should only rarely use Ricketts' services and instead loaned him to the second division Coventry City and Wolverhampton Wanderers , where he played with the "Wolves" again for Glenn Hoddle.

In the summer of 2005, Ricketts moved permanently to Wolverhampton, was there in two years only in about half of the league games and helped briefly between March and May 2007 at the Queens Park Rangers . As early as July 2007, the "Wolves" released him from the current contract and Ricketts decided to sign a new contract with the second division club Barnsley FC , where it ended prematurely after only one year. On the same day of his release in Barnsley, he took on the next commitment, which was in the North American Major League Soccer with the Canadian club Toronto FC .

Ricketts scored his first two goals in the MLS on June 14, 2008 against the Colorado Rapids and completed a total of 27 competitive games in 2008. Only one of them was not from the start and in addition to his four goals in the regular season, there were two more goals to win the Canadian runner-up . The second year of 2009 turned out to be much more difficult for Ricketts, when two competitors in his position, the Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario and the US talent Sam Cronin, were constantly preferred to him and he was also undoed by the fact that he was able to use the Internet platform Twitter expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of match practice. In June 2009, Toronto FC released their English player and gave the reason that they would be able to sign another Canadian international with Ali Gerba thanks to the salary saved as part of the salary cap .

After his release in Toronto, according to media reports, Ricketts rejected offers from some English clubs and instead completed a trial training session at the Scottish club FC Aberdeen in August 2009 . Despite some good performances in the pre-season, however, the "Dons" refrained from buying the winger, as otherwise difficulties in adhering to the salary budget were feared.

In the spring of 2010, Ricketts was briefly in the squad of the Hungarian first division club Diósgyőri VTK , but came there only in a single league game of the senior team and rose at the end of the 2009/10 season with the club in the second-rate Nemzeti Bajnokság .

In the fall of 2010, Ricketts was for a short time with the Moldovan top club FC Dacia Chișinău under contract.

On January 4, 2011, he completed a training session with the German third division team Kickers Offenbach . From February 2011 Ricketts played at SV Wilhelmshaven in the Regionalliga Nord, the contract ran until June 30, 2011.

In August of the same year, the winger signed a contract with the Irish record champions the Shamrock Rovers until the end of the 2011 season. After that, he was initially without a club.

At the end of March 2012, he signed with the English club Exeter City, which he left after only one game in the next month. In August 2012 he then moved to the Indian first division club Dempo SC . There he came to ten missions by the end of the 2012 season and scored one goal.

In 2013 Ricketts played for the Ecuadorian first division club Deportivo Quevedo , and the following year for the PTT Rayong in Thailand.
