Sam Ricketts joins Swindon on loan

Sam Ricketts has joined Swindon Town on emergency loan until the end of the season.

The Wales international is to move to the County Ground in search of first-team football, after falling down the pecking order at Molineux.

Ricketts is out-of-contract at Molineux in the summer and has only made four Championship appearances so far this season.

Jackett revealed on Thursday that several clubs had been interested in taking Ricketts on loan, and the Welsh international, who has family ties in Swindon, has opted to join the Robins.

The 33-year-old is on Welsh international duty for their Euro 2016 qualifier with Israel next Saturday, and will join up with Swindon upon his return.

Swindon don't have a fixture this weekend but currently occupy third place in the table, two points behind Preston in the second automatic promotion spot.

Wolves have a 24-hour recall clause on Ricketts' deal after the first 28 days have passed.
