Who is Ricky Ravenhill?

Richard John "Ricky" Ravenhill is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northampton Town.

Having began his professional career with Barnsley in 2000, Ravenhill was released midway through the 2001–02 season and transferred to the then Non-league side Doncaster Rovers. In his second season with Rovers the club were promoted from the Conference having beaten Dagenham & Redbridge in the 2003 Football Conference play-off Final. The following season brought more joy as Rovers secured back to back promotions by winning the Third Division to insure they would be playing in the third division of English football for the 2004–05 season. In 2006 he transferred to Grimsby Town but his stay was short lived and by the end of the season he had moved on again, this time joining Darlington. In July 2009 he joined Notts County and his first season with the club brought promotion and his second league title in the fourth tier. In late 2011 he moved on loan to Bradford City which a month later brought a permanent move. During the 2012–13 season Ravenhill and Bradford were runners-up in the Football League Cup.
