Ricketts to join Wolves permanently

Winger Rohan Ricketts is to join Wolves permanently after spending two months on loan during the latter stages of 2004-05.

Ricketts, who scored one goal in seven appearances for Wolves between mid-March and the end of the campaign, was released by Tottenham last week.

The 22-year-old has agreed to join the Molineux club on a two-year deal once his Spurs contract formally expires at the end of June.

Wolves also have the option of extending the deal by a further year.

“I am really looking forward to next season,” said Ricketts. “I’m excited by the prospect of being involved with a club of this status and with such a great chance of getting back in the Premiership.

“I had offers from other clubs – both in the Premiership and the Championship - but there’s such a big opportunity here, I couldn’t pass it by.”
