Ricky Modeste swaps Beachboys for Scholars, moving to Potters Bar Town


Concord Rangers have announced that skipper Ricky Modeste has decided to swap the seaside for the bright lights of the Lantern Stadium, heading to Pitching In Isthmian Premier rivals Potters Bar Town.

Ricky joined Rangers in the summer of 2022, when they were still a National League South club, and has made twenty four appearances this this season, scoring three goals.

Ricky played youth football for the likes of Charlton Athletic and Arsenal, but it was at Chelmsford City that he first came to our attention, also spending some loan time at Witham Town. He moved onto Dover Athletic, helping the club to promotion from National League South and to establish themselves in non league's top flight, as well as playing a big part in their run to the Third Round of the FA Cup in 2014-15, when they defeated Morecambe and Cheltenham Town before finally losing to Crystal Palace.

He was part of the Billericay Town side which took our Premier Division title in 2017-18, playing fifty four times across the campaign and scoring twelve goals, before a return to Dover. He went on to play also for Dartford and Tonbridge Angels.

He has played international football for Grenada.
