Dave Richards, a Welshman born 31 December 1993 and therefore currently of the ripe age of 31, plies his trade as the renowned keeper for Dundee United. With a sturdy stature of 6ft 2in (1.9m) and a weight registering at 12st 12lb (82kg), he's a formidable presence between the sticks, donning the number 25 shirt for his proud club.
As detailed by Transfermarkt, his market value at present floats around the £64k mark. His time keeping guard for Dundee United is set to continue with his contract due to reach its culmination on 30 June 2026, leaving the club and Richards himself with 1.5 years to consider their options.
Prior to his Scottish endeavour, Richards cut his teeth in the English Championship with Bristol City, where he moved to in January 2013. However, after a couple of seasons, Richards took the route to Crewe Alexandra in League Two England in July 2015.
Richards' tenure with Crewe proved a mixed bag. In his debut season of 2017 - 2018, he made a mere total of ten first team appearances in league matches. In the 2022 - 2023 season, he made an even more meagre seven appearances leading to an exploratory loan spell with St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership in August 2023.
Following this interlude in Scotland, Dave finally bid farewell to Crewe Alexandra permanently in July 2024, trading in League Two England for a return to the Scottish Premiership, this time clinging the gloves for Dundee United. But as things stand in the 2024 - 2025 season, appearances have been elusive for Richards with no first team league appearances to his name.
