Career[]

Rik started out as a youth player with Arsenal, before being released and joining the junior ranks at Queens Park Rangers in 1997. He spent three years at QPR without getting any first team action, and from 2000 to 2001 he found himself in the same situation at Watford. After being released by The Hornets he was picked up by then-Rovers manager Gerry Francis, but after three changes in management in less that a year he found himself surplus to requirements at the Memorial Stadium and was released.
