Richards in July 2014. He finished as the "Royals" top-scorer in the 2014–15 season with 23 goals, helping the club to win promotion after beating Leek Town in the play-off final. He moved on to Northern Premier League Premier Division rivals Stourbridge in September 2015. The club finished in sixth place in 2015–16, and qualified for the play-offs with a third-place finish in 2016–17 before losing 1–0 to Spennymoor Town in the play-off final. He rejoined Sutton Coldfield Town in December 2017. Town were relegated after they finished bottom of the Northern Premier League Premier Division at the end of the 2017–18 season. He went on to join Hednesford Town, but left the club after less than a month after it was confirmed they would not be placed in the Southern League Premier Division Central the following season. On 20 July 2018, he joined Rushall Olympic in the Southern League Premier Division Central. The "Pics" finished the 2018–19 season in eighth-place, with Richards scoring one goal in 12 games. International career His success at Woking saw him earn a call-up to the England C team in May 2006. He scored in his only game, a 1–1 draw with Wales in the Four Nations Tournament at Priory Lane. His career as a semi-international was quickly ended once he joined Football League club Peterborough United later that year. Personal life On 19 December 2010, Richards and four friends took part in a drunken brawl with another man during a night out in Leeds. The following year he pleaded guilty to affray, and was fined £2,000 and given a community order with 100 hours unpaid work. Two of his friends were given suspended prison sentences, whilst the other two were also fined and given unpaid work. Judge James Spencer QC accepted that the men behaved out of character and were ashamed of their behaviour. In June 2011 he was studying to complete a degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting at Staffordshire University, alongside former teammates Gareth Owen, Adam Yates, and Ritchie Sutton.
