A West Yorkshire, Great Britain native, Ripley played two years at Seton Hill after leaving Feather River Community College in Quincy, Calif. He also was a standout for the Ossett Town Juniors team.
“(Ripley) will be a great addition to our squad,” Ossett United manager Wayne Benn said in a team tweet. “Seon is another player who is good technically, quick and his attitude and work rate are first class. I’m really looking forward to working with him again.”
Most recently, Ripley played for the Hemsworth Miners Welfare Football Club in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division.
