Timeline

1989

Matthew Thomas Ritchie (born 10 September 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a right winger or wing-back for Premier League club Newcastle United.

Matthew Thomas Ritchie was born on 10 September 1989 in Gosport, Hampshire.

His father Alex is from Edinburgh, Scotland.

Ritchie attended Bay House School.

Ritchie had been involved in Portsmouth's academy since he turned 13, previously playing football locally in Gosport, starting at the age of six.

2008

After signing his first professional contract with the club, and a positive 2008–09 pre-season campaign, including a hat-trick in a 4–1 victory over hometown club Gosport Borough, after the match, Ritchie said scoring a hat-trick was 'unreal'.

He made his Football League debut against Rotherham United on 27 September 2008, coming on as a late substitute.

Ritchie scored on his first competitive start for the Daggers in a 2–0 win over Rochdale.

He scored again in his next match, a 2–0 win over Barnet.

Ritchie also made clear his wishes to extend the loan deal until the end of the season.

Dagenham announced on 30 December that the player would remain with the club until the end of the current season.

His impressive performances saw him rewarded with a new two-year deal at Portsmouth, and their Young Player of the Season Award.

2009

On 28 July 2009, it was reported that Notts County, were in talks with Portsmouth over a six-figure fee for his services, believed to be £100,000.

On 1 September 2009, Ritchie signed on loan until 31 December, although County wanted to extend his loan deal.

2010

He went on loan to Swindon Town in 2010 but due to Portsmouth's mounting injury list, he was recalled in March and was named on the bench for their 2–0 Premier League loss at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur after making four appearances for Swindon.

On 14 April, he made his League debut for Portsmouth in the game against Wigan Athletic.

He played 79 minutes but was then substituted for Frédéric Piquionne.

After the match, Ritchie admits making his Portsmouth debut was a dream come true.

At the end of the season, with Portsmouth's relegation from the Premier League confirmed, he signed a new two-year deal.

For the 2010–11 season, Ritchie was handed the number 5 shirt and was selected in Portsmouth's starting XI for their first match of the season at Coventry City.

However, he soon found himself out of the Portsmouth line-up and, with the club having disbanded its reserve team, manager Steve Cotterill agreed to loan out the player for fitness reasons.

Ritchie played reserve and academy football at Pompey until late September and continued to impress until he was taken on a one-month loan deal by League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge.

After Danny Wilson failed to secure Ritchie's services on a permanent deal during the transfer window, it was announced on 11 February 2010 that Swindon Town had signed the midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season.

He made his debut on 23 February against Stockport County after coming on for Danny Ward after 25 minutes.

After making a brief appearance for Pompey on 4 October, Ritchie was loaned again to Swindon Town, on a one-month deal.

Two weeks later the deal was extended to two months.

2011

On 7 January 2011, Swindon Town signed Ritchie on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

He added to his tally with goals against Bournemouth in a 3–2 loss, a 4–1 loss to Southampton, a 1–1 draw with Hartlepool United and a 2–1 loss against Notts County.

Despite Swindon Town being relegated to League Two, Ritchie was named the Robins' Player of the Season.

Under manager Paolo Di Canio in League Two, he retained his first team place in the starting eleven and scoring form with ten goals that season.

During the season, Ritchie was linked with League One clubs, with the likes of Bournemouth interested in signing the player.

After Bournemouth's bid for him was rejected, manager Di Canio said that he was worth about £2 million.

2012

In March, he won the Football League Two Player of the Year for 2012.

With teammate Paul Caddis he was named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year.

Ahead of a new season in League One, Swindon turned down a £900,000 offer from a League One club for Ritchie, insisting he would be sold for £2.5 million.

2014

Shortly afterwards he signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2014.

2015

Ritchie represented the Scotland national team from 2015 to 2018.

He made his senior international debut on 25 March 2015, in a friendly match against Northern Ireland.

2016

Prior to joining Newcastle United in 2016, he played for Portsmouth, Swindon Town and Bournemouth.

Although born and raised in England, Ritchie qualified to play for Scotland through his Scottish father Alex.
