Dave Richards

Dave Richards of Dundee United was born in Abergavenny, Wales on 31 December 1993 (age 32).

Believed to have been born on 31st December 1993, Dave Richards is a professional footballer originally hailing from Wales. Presently plying his trade as a goalkeeper for Dundee United, Richards stands at a solid 6ft 2in (1.9m) tall and tips the scales at around 12st 12lb (82kg). On match days, you'll find him donning the number 25 jersey.

According to the figures available on Transfermarkt, Richards' market value is estimated to hover around the £65k mark.

Our Welsh custodian's first foray into the upper echelons of professional football commenced in January 2013, when he had the honour of joining Bristol City, a side plying their trade in England's Championship. This tenure would then be superseded by a move to Crewe Alexandra, another English side, albeit in League Two, where he transferred in July 2015.

During his debut season of 2017 - 2018 at Crewe Alexandra, Richards got a taste for first team action, making ten appearances in league matches. Fast-forward five years to season 2022 - 2023, and his tally, albeit modest, rose to seven first team appearances.

August 2023 saw a transitional period for Richards as he embarked on loan to St Johnstone, a Scottish Championship side, which proved a precursor to his definitive move away from Crewe Alexandra in July 2024. This time, his destination was Dundee United, nestled firmly in the Scottish Premiership.

Despite a somewhat modest début season with Dundee United in 2024 - 2025, playing in only two first team league matches, Richards would persevere to experience more game lime in the following 2025 - 2026 season, featuring in 11 first team league matches. That same season, he would be given the opportunity to participate in the Scottish Cup for Dundee United, earning himself a starting position in one of their matches.
