Mark James Ricketts (born 7 October 1984) is an English football defender who plays for National League club Boreham Wood.

Career

Born in Sidcup, Ricketts began his career at Charlton Athletic in 2000 but made no appearances for the first team.[2] He had a loan spell at League One club MK Dons in the 2005–06 season,[3] where he made his debut in the FA Cup 1st round tie at Lincoln City, he made three appearances before suffering a knee ligament injury.[4] Despite the injury, his loan spell was extended for a second and third month,[4] and he made seven league and cup appearances for MK Dons.[2]

At the end of the season, he was released by Charlton after the club decided not to offer him a new contract,[5] and joined Ebbsfleet United in August 2006.[6] He made 31 appearances for Ebbsfleet in the 2006–07 season,[7] and his performances were rewarded with a new contract in May 2007.[8] A knee injury that required surgery interrupted the beginning of Rickett's 2007–08 season,[9] but he returned to the side at the end of September 2007 and went on to make 30 appearances that season.[10] He was put on standby for the England C squad in February 2008,[11] and collected a winners medal when Ebbsfleet won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium in May 2008.[12] He signed a new contract in June 2008.[13]

In June 2009, Ricketts signed for Conference South club Woking.[14] In 2010, Ricketts was made club captain. Ricketts quickly became a fan favourite at Woking and went on to make over 200 league appearances before leaving in June 2016.

On 10 June 2016, Ricketts joined National League rival Boreham Wood on a free transfer.[15] On 6 August 2016, Ricketts made his Boreham Wood debut in a 1–0 victory over Forest Green Rovers, playing the full 90 minutes.[16]
