Donovan Damon Ricketts (born 7 June 1977) is a Jamaican former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper and is currently the head coach for Carolina Core FC in MLS Next Pro.

Ricketts played more than 100 games for Bradford City in England, and has more than 100 appearances in Major League Soccer and has twice been named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

Ricketts attracted the attention of English clubs after an impressive performance for Jamaica against Brazil in a match played in Leicester in 2003.

He failed to join fellow Reggae Boys Onandi Lowe and Paul Hall at Rushden & Diamonds FC after an unsuccessful trial, and signed instead for English Premier League side Bolton Wanderers in 2004.

And after Ricketts had played for Jamaica in March 2008, he was stopped by immigration officials at Heathrow Airport and sent back to New York because he did not have the correct paperwork.

[18] Instead, Ricketts returned to Jamaica to train with the country's under 21 side,[19] before being one of 13 players to be released by Bradford manager Stuart McCall at the end of the season.

[24] Ricketts enjoyed a successful first season in Major League Soccer under Bruce Arena, leading the Galaxy to the Western Division title.

Saunders filled in well, considering Ricketts started most of the games in the '09 season, but it was not enough to fend off Real Salt Lake, who won via penalties.

Ricketts was traded by Orlando City back to LA Galaxy on 30 July 2015 in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft.

Ricketts has been a big part of the Reggae Boyz programme, dating back to the days of former Technical Director Renê Simões.
