Donovan Ricketts (born June 7, 1977 in Montego Bay, Jamaica) is a footballer. Throughout his career he has played as a goalkeeper.
At present he is the vice captain of the Jamaica national football team and he currently plays club football for Bradford City.
On June 3, 2006 he appeared in goal for Jamaica in the International Friendly against England at Old Trafford Football Stadium. Jamaica went on to lose the game 6-0.
Standing at six feet four inches, Ricketts is big figure in goal and has been a big part of the Reggae Boyz programme for sometime now, dating back to the days of former Technical Director Renê Simões.
Donovan has not only kept goal for Jamaica at the senior level, but has also done it at various junior levels for his country. He came through the national ranks under the guidance of goalkeeping coach, Paul Campbell. Donovan is a World Cup veteran, being named to the Jamaican squad that played in the World Cup finals in France. But, the opportunity never presented itself for him to see any game time.
