Born in Durham, Richardson signed for Third Division side Colchester United from Chesham United in September 1993 on a non-contract basis.[2] He made his Football League debut on 25 September 1993, coming on as a substitute for player-manager Roy McDonough in a 4–1 win over Bury at Layer Road.[3] He failed to score in any of his eight league games for Colchester,[4] making his final appearance in a 4–2 home defeat to Crewe Alexandra on 11 December 1993, replacing Steve Ball.[5] Richardson returned to non-league football with Chesham following his release.[2][4]
