Career

Born in Urswick, Richards attended Ulverston Victoria High School, and started his career with amateur club Barrow Island.[3] He was signed by St. Helens in 2011, and made his first team début in July 2013 in a Super League game against Castleford.

He appeared in the 2014 Super League Grand Final as a substitute in Saints' 14–6 win against Wigan.[4] During the 2017 season, Richards was sent to Kingstone Press Championship side the Sheffield Eagles as part of a Dual registration deal with Saints. Here, he played just three games before returning.

Shortly after his departure from the Eagles came his departure from the Saints, as he joined then struggling Super League outfit Leigh.
