Sounded a good player, wonder where it has gone wrong for him</p> Rohan Anthony Ricketts (born December 22, 1982 in Clapham, South London) is an English football midfielder currently playing for Barnsley.</p> Ricketts started out with Arsenal, with whom he won the FA Youth Cup in 2000 and 2001. He made one appearance for them, in the League Cup, against Manchester United, before making the unusual step of joining Arsenal's rivals Tottenham Hotspur, and becoming only the fourth player to make the switch from Arsenal to White Hart Lane, in 2002.</p> Ricketts didn't play a single game in his first season, but was a first-team regular in 2003-04. Tord Grip was impressed with his ability and there was talk of him being called up to the senior England squad but soon as Glenn Hoddle left, Ricketts found his first team opportunities limited despite being named Player of month in August and September for Tottenham. The following season, under Jacques Santini and then Martin Jol, he found appearances harder to come by, and had two loan spells, at Coventry City, and then Wolverhampton Wanderers, linking up with his former manager, Glenn Hoddle. In the summer of 2005 he moved to Molineux on a permanent basis. He had a loan spell at Queens Park Rangers in 2007 and was released by Wolves in May of the same year.</p> Ricketts signed a 2 year deal with Championship side Barnsley in July 2007.</p>
