A stonemason by profession, Richards played his rugby for Plymouth Albion, Devon and England, for which he was capped twice in the 1929 Five Nations. He was chosen to succeed Arthur Young as England scrum-half for their final two Five Nations fixtures. His half-back partner for both matches were also debutants.
