Profile:  A product of the clubs youth policy who forced his way into the Shakers first team in time for the clubs first game in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy during the 2007/08 Season.

A confident and pace filled defender, Ricky has a very bright future in the game and should continue his progress into the new season.  Offered and signed his first professional contract before the end of last season.

Ricky has all the attributes needed to succeed in the game and will go onto make a name for himself once the chance comes along, something that we have no doubt he will grasp with both hands.
