After joining the City Academy as a 13-year-old, Buckley-Ricketts impressed through the age groups and was offered a two year scholarship at the Club in July 2014.

The City website reads: ‘With a strength that belies his slight frame, the forward can hold the ball up well and his pace made him a valuable asset at both U18 and EDS level.
