William Stanley Richards (born 18 December 1991) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a midfielder for Redditch United.
A product of the Shrewsbury Town youth system, he made just one senior appearance, before embarking on a career in non-league football in the West Midlands area.
Playing career
Richards began his career in the Shrewsbury Town youth team, and despite ultimately never signing professional terms with the club made one competitive appearance in a Football League Trophy fixture against Accrington Stanley on 20 October 2009 as a substitute.[2]
Having also been a regular for Shrewsbury's reserve team, on his release he was offered a trial and later signed up at non-league neighbours AFC Telford in June 2010,[3] however he was sent out on loan to Market Drayton Town in September 2010 with then Telford manager Andy Sinton citing his sides good start to the season limiting Richards first team opportunities at the club.[4] He was recalled from his loan to cover for suspension in January 2011[5] but was sent out on loan again to Redditch United in February 2011.[6]
After the expiry of his contract at Telford, Richards later went on to sign for Solihull Moors in August 2011,[7] before spending further loan spells at Redditch and Evesham United. He then spent the 2012−13 season on a permanent basis at Redditch United, before joining Stourbridge in June 2013.[8]
Richards returned to Redditch for a fourth time, signing a one-year deal in June 2015.[9]
