Calder Returns to Pics

Defender Riccardo Calder has re-joined Pitching In Southern League Premier Division Central club Rushall Olympic.


The 26-year-old left the Pics to sign for Vanarama National League North side Kettering Town in August 2021.

He had originally joined the Pics in August 2020 from Southern Premier Division Central rivals Nuneaton Borough, where he had been since January 2020.

He had arrived at Boro from National League North outfit AFC Telford United in October 2019, having arrived at the New Bucks Head from rivals Bradford Park Avenue who he only joined the latter in late August.

He was originally part of the Aston Villa under-19’s team which won the 2012/13 NextGen Series, beating Chelsea in the final of the competition.

Whilst on Villa`s books he had loan spells with Dundee, Doncaster Rovers where, in two spells he made 23 appearances, and Lincoln City.

Upon his release from Villa Park, the four-times capped England under-17 international joined Scottish Championship side Inverness Caledonian Thistle, for whom he played 32 times, scoring one goal before being released in May 2018 to serve a prison sentence.
