Club career



FC Dallas


Richards was raised in Hoover, Alabama and played youth soccer for Hoover SC.[3] In 2016, Richards was cut from a trial with FC Dallas Academy, and instead joined Texans SC in Houston.[3] Richards then joined FC Dallas Academy in 2017.[4]

On April 12, 2018, he signed a professional contract with FC Dallas.[5]


Bayern Munich


In May 2018, Richards, alongside FC Dallas colleague Thomas Roberts, went to a 10-day trial at FC Bayern Munich as part of an agreement between the two clubs.[6] As a result of his performance during the trial, in July he was offered a one-year loan with the German club.[7]

On July 21, 2018, Richards debuted for Bayern senior team at the 2018 International Champions Cup, replacing Sandro Wagner in the 62nd minute of the 3–1 win against Paris Saint-Germain F.C.[8] During the 2018–19 season, he spent time with Bayern München U19s becoming a team regular starter and getting praises for his aerial abilities and his passing skills.[9] On January 19, 2019, Richards signed a $1.5 million permanent contract with FC Bayern Munich.[9][10][11][12] On August 19, 2019, he made his professional debut when he started for FC Bayern Munich II at the 3. Liga in their 2–1 away win against Hallescher FC.[13] Richards ended up making 30 appearances and scoring 4 goals for Bayern II in a team that won the 3. Liga.[14]

On June 20, 2020, Richards made his Bundesliga debut in a 3–1 victory over Freiburg.[15] On September 18 he made his first appearance of the 2020–21 Bundesliga season in Bayern's opener against Schalke 04.[16] He made his first start for Bayern against Hertha BSC on October 4, in which he assisted a Robert Lewandowski goal in the 51st minute of a 4–3 win.[17]

On November 25, 2020, Richards made his UEFA Champions League debut for Bayern in a 3–1 victory over Red Bull Salzburg. He exited the game in the 79th minute when he was replaced by Javi Martínez.[18]


Loan to Hoffenheim

International career


In January 2018, Richards was called for the MNT Youth National Team Summit Camp, which gathered 153 players from U16, U17, U18, U19, and U20 Youth National Teams.[21][22] In May 2018, he made his debut for the United States U20 team in a match against Honduras. On November 12, 2018, Richards was called for the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship as one of the three replacements allowed before the beginning of the "Qualification Stage".[21][23] He, then, started in two of the three tournament's remaining matches, including the final, a 2–0 win, against Mexico.[24][25][21] On May 10, 2019, Richards was included by coach Tab Ramos in the 21-man squad called to represent the United States at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[26][21] The defender started all the five matches the Americans played in the tournament, including the stunning 3–2 win against heavy favorites, France. Richards played the entire game in all but one of the matches (the one against Nigeria).[27][28][29][30][31][32]

He received his first call up to the senior United States squad for matches against Wales and Panama in November 2020.[33] Richards subsequently made his national team debut as a late substitute against Panama.[34]
