Nicholas John "Nick" Richardson (born 11 April 1967 in Halifax, Yorkshire) is a former English professional footballer, who played in the Football League between the 1980s and 2000s.[1]
Halifax and Cardiff
Richardson began his career playing non-league football for Emley before joining Halifax Town in 1988.[2] He quickly established himself in the side and was a regular for three and a half seasons before signing for Cardiff City for £35,000.[2] During his first season he won both a Division Three title and a Welsh Cup winners medal, after the Bluebirds beat Rhyl 5-0 in the final. Unfortunately he suffered from several injuries and, despite loan spells at Wrexham and Chester City,[2] struggled to recover the early form he showed at the club.
Bury and Chester
He left to join Bury in 1995 where he spent just one month before moving permanentley to Chester City for £40,000.[2]
Later career
Richardson returned to The Football League with York City for a year before joining Harrogate Town.[2]
Personal life
Nick's younger brother Lee was also a footballer and played alongside him during his time at Halifax.[3]
