Jayden Richardson, born on 4 September 2000 (age 25), is an English right-back whose senior career has settled most clearly around St Mirren. He had early league exposure with Nottingham Forest, making two league appearances in 2021–22, before his career moved towards regular Scottish Premiership work.
St Mirren have given Richardson the main body of his first-team football. Across two seasons he has made 36 league appearances for the Paisley club, playing primarily at right-back and wearing the number 2 shirt. It is there, rather than in the smaller stops around the edges of his career, that his profile has taken shape.
In 2026–27, Richardson has made 11 appearances for St Mirren across competitions: two in the league, three in the League Cup, four in the Scottish Cup and two in the Premiership play-offs. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Richardson’s career to this point is that of an established professional right-back whose most substantial football has come at St Mirren, with Nottingham Forest providing the earlier senior platform.
