Ricketts was signed on a free from non league Telford, by Jackett in 2004. Sam can play at left or right back as well as the left midfield or central defence. Ricketts had a very good first season with the Swans and only missed 4 games last season.<\/p>\n

Despite being English, Ricketts earned a Welsh call up by new Wales manager John Toshack and Sam made his Welsh debut against Hungary. Sam then made two more appearances in the World Cup Qualifiers against Austria.<\/p>\n

At the present time, Ricketts has had a new contract offered to him and hopefully he will sign as he is a vital player in Jackett’s team. Ricketts is still waiting for his first League goal for Swansea – his only goal came in an LDV Trophy win over Luton last season – The Welsh International will be looking to get on the score sheet more often this coming season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
