Having enjoyed a successful loan spell at Reading towards the end of the 1999-2000 campaign, Ricky made a permanent move to the Madejski Stadium in the close season.
He went on to feature regularly for the Royals before being sidelined by a knee injury in the run-in to the end of the season.
Although generally used at right back, he also appeared in a central midfield role and produced some committed displays, showing himself to be very sharp in the tackle.
Ricky's contract at Aldershot Town was extended to June 2009 in May 2008.
