Career
Richards was born in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. He started his career in the youth team of Hartlepool United on a two-year scholarship. In the summer of 2011 he signed his first professional contract.[3] He made his professional debut on 20 March 2012, in a 1–0 defeat to Oldham Athletic, replacing Paul Murray as a late substitute. A month later, he was handed his first start playing the full 90 minutes against Tranmere Rovers in a 1–1 draw.
Jordan was praised by manager John Hughes after his run in the first-team,[4] but was then dealt with the blow of being ruled out for the rest of the 2012–13 season after a knee injury.[5]
On 7 May 2014, Richards extended his contract with the Pools.[6]
Richards joined National League North side Alfreton Town on a one-month loan deal in February 2017,[7] the deal was later extended until the end of the season.[8]
After signing for AFC Fylde in September 2017, he joined Southport on a free transfer on 12 January, 2018.
Personal life
He is the nephew of ex-Sunderland and Blackburn player Michael Gray.
