Joseph Richards was a rugby union footballer of the 1890s who at representative level played for England, and at club level for Bradford F.C.,[1] playing in the Forwards, e.g. Front row, Lock, or Back row. Prior to the 27th August 1895, Bradford F.C. was a rugby union club, and since 1907 it has been the association football (soccer) club Bradford Park Avenue A.F.C..

Joseph Richards won caps for England while at Bradford F.C. in 1891 against Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.[2]
When Bradford F.C. converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on the 27th August 1895, Joseph Richards would have been in his twenties. Consequently, he may have been both a rugby union and rugby league footballer for Bradford F.C.
