Southend land Leeds exile Ricketts
Championship newcomers Southend have completed the free-transfer signing of former England striker Michael Ricketts from Leeds.
The 27-year-old, who was capped once by Sven-Goran Eriksson against Holland in 2002, has signed a two-year deal at Roots Hall with the option for a further year.
He spent last season on loan at Cardiff and Burnley and will replace Shaun Goater in the Shrimpers attack following the Bermudan's retirement this summer.
Ricketts becomes manager Steve Tilson's second signing in a matter of hours following the capture of former Motherwell full-back Steven Hammell.
