Ex-Arsenal, Tottenham midfielder Ricketts enjoying Thai journey

Rohan Ricketts has found himself playing professional football all around the world during his career which has spanned more than a decade.

Since then he has played with Coventry City, Wolves, QPR, Exeter City and Barnsley in England, with Toronto FC in North America, and with clubs in Hungary, Moldova, Germany, Ireland, India and Ecuador.

In February, Ricketts joined Thai Premier League outfit PTT Rayong, making his debut on March 8, and he admits that life in South East Asia is good.
