Biography

Riccardo Calder joined the youth system of Aston Villa aged nine, and progressed through the ranks. Riccardo was part of the Villa youth squad that won the NextGen Series, contested by under-19 squads from across Europe, in the 2012/2013 season.

Riccardo failed to break in to the first team at Villa, and signed on loan for Dundee in August 2015, where he made his professional debut from the bench in a 1-0 victory over Partick Thistle in September 2015.

Capable of playing in defence and midfield, Riccardo was often utilised as a substitute, starting just 3 times for Dundee and appearing a further 8 times from the bench.

The high point of Riccardo’s Dens Park career was the assist for Rory Loy’s opener in a 2-1 victory over Motherwell in October.

Initially signed on a half-season loan, Riccardo returned to Aston Villa in January 2016.

The midfielder returned to Scotland at the end of his Villa contract to join Inverness Caledonian Thistle, winning the Challenge Cup in 2018.
