Ricketts was signed on a free from Conference side Telford United in May 2004, Ricketts played in 52 out of Telford’s 56 games last season scoring 6 goals. He can play in defence as well as in midfield. Sounds a good signing and has had previous league experience with Oxford.

Fan’s Views (Telford) –

“He is a very good player, very flexible in the position he can play, if he has signed for you boys all I can say is good choice.”

“The guy was class throughout a model of consistency.”
