Rickler made his first team debut on 18 April 2007 in an away match against Lazio, ended in a 0–0 tie.
Rickler had only played 4 matches in Serie A and 17 in Serie B with Chievo, rest of his Chievo career was spent on loan to Serie B clubs.
In June 2011 Rickler was exchanged with Alessandro Bassoli in co-ownership deal. Both players' 50% registration rights were tagged for €1.5 million. He signed a 5-year contract, which worth €100,000 in net in the first season and would gradually increased to €120,000 in the last 3 seasons, plus bonuses.[2] The deal was criticized as financial trick or even creative accounting, as the aggressive price tag of both players only improved 2010–11 financial result (selling profit nearly €3M)[3] and created an amortization cost of €3 million (€600,000 each for 5 seasons) from 2011 to 2016, with both players performance were impaired with costing the club €600,000.
Moreover, following Rickler was banned for 4 years, Bologna would never recovered the residual contract value €2.4M, thus both club gave up the bought back rights in June 2012. Bologna also write-down the contract value of Rickler for a season for €600,985 in the financial year[4] to make his contract residual value "worth" around €1.8 million in accounting on 1 July 2012 (however followed the ban shortened, the write-down reverted[5]).
Rickler had been questioned by prosecutor since March 2012.[6] On 18 June 2012 Rickler was suspended for 4 years due to involvement in 2011–12 Italian football scandal. His Piacenza and Chievo teammate Alessandro Sbaffo also request to ban 3-year and 3 months by procurator.[7] However Sbaffo's plea bargain was successful reduced the ban by heavy fine, but Rickler employed the lawyer to defence[8] and failed to acquit the charge.[9] Rickler's appeal to "Corte di Giustizia Federale" was dismissed on 6 July 2012. However his ban was shorten by Tribunale Nazionale di Arbitrato per lo Sport to 14 months after appeal.
In April 2013 Rickler's ban was shortened;[10] on 21 August 2013 Rickler left for fourth division club Mantova F.C.[11]
He also made a total two appearances with the Italian Under-20 squad, and was also selected once for the Italian U-21 team.[1]
