Although his father was a renowned outfield player, Ritchie Jr has made a career as a goalkeeper although he was an outfield player when he made his debut aged 21 for Newtonmore.[3] He has played outfield for phases of his career.[4]
He suffered an unfortunate lapse in the 2008 Macaulay Cup final against Inveraray when a blunder from a routine shy caused him to let in the winning goal.[5]
Ironically given the rivalry between Kingussie and Newtonmore, Ritchie lives with his family in Kingussie next door to Kingussie's Michael Clark.
