Born at Preston, Ratledge was educated at Bolton School, before going up to St John's College, Cambridge to study law.[1] While studying at Cambridge he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, making his debut against Nottinghamshire at Fenner's in 1994.[2] He played first-class cricket for Cambridge from 1994–1997, making a total of 27 appearances at first-class level.[2] Ratledge ended his first-class career having scored a total of 942 runs at an average of 20.04, with a highest score of 100 not out.[3] This score was his only first-class century and came against Oxford University in 1997,[4] in what was his final first-class match.[2] He also bowled twenty overs with his medium pace bowling across his career, taking a single wicket and conceding 108 runs.[5] He gained a blue in cricket.[1]
After graduating from St John's, Ratledge was called to the bar in 1999.[6] He played minor counties cricket for Cumberland in 2006, making four appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[7] After spending twenty years practicing law at the St John’s Buildings in Manchester, Ratledge moved to East Anglia to practice in Norwich.[6]
