The versatile left-sided player began his career under a scholarship at Fulham and signed a two-year professional contract at Craven Cottage in 2014.

Richards joined AFC Wimbledon on loan in 2014 and made ten appearances for the then League Two club.

He then went to Aldershot Town in another loan move in 2015 before he signed for the Shots on a permanent basis for the 2015-16 campaign.

Richards departed the Hampshire outfit a year later and had a brief spell at Austrian fourth-tier club FC Kitzbühel before moving back to England to play for Walton Casuals and Welling United.

The winger enjoyed two seasons at Leatherhead, scoring five times in 46 appearances, before moving to Dorking Wanderers in 2018.

Richards had a very successful career at Meadowbank before his move to Kingstonian.

The 26-year-old lifted the Isthmian Premier Division title with Wanderers in 2018-19, and helped Dorking reach the National League South play-offs semi-finals a year later.
