GRECIANS SNAP UP RICKETTS AND GOW

'Have boots, will travel', that is the career story of Exeter City's two latest recruits, Rohan Ricketts and Alan Gow, who have agreed deals that will keep them at St James' Park until the end of the season.

Former Arsenal and Tottenham midfielder Ricketts, 29, also counts Barnsley and Wolves amongst his former clubs in a career that has seen him ply his trade in countries as diverse as Canada, Hungary, Moldova and the Republic of Ireland.

His career highlights include two FA Youth Cup wins whilst with the Gunners and a Irish League title, which he won with his most recent club, prior to his arrival at St James' Park, Shamrock Rovers.

Ex Rangers forward Gow, also 29, is no stranger to the South West after spending the 2009-10 campaign with Plymouth Argyle before he was released at the end of the season.

Since then, he returned to Scotland to join Motherwell before moving back to England to sign for Notts County. He then headed East to join Indian side East Bengal before agreeing to join the Grecians.
