Justin Donovan Richards (born 16 October 1980) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Northern Premier League side Stourbridge.
Richards has a tally of around one goal every four games and has played mostly in the Conference and lower reaches of the Football League. Something of a journeyman player, he has tended to play for teams in his local area around the Midlands and Southern England.
Richards started his career at West Bromwich Albion in 1997, and failed to establish himself at the club in four years. After two years with Bristol Rovers he switched to Stevenage Borough. In 2004 he signed with Woking, and after a highly successful two years was snapped up by Peterborough United. In 2007 he joined Kidderminster Harriers, where he stayed for two years before he signed with Cheltenham Town. In the summer of 2010 he was signed to Port Vale, before moving on to Burton Albion the following year, and to Oxford United and then Tamworth in 2013. He signed with Sutton Coldfield Town in July 2014, and then Stourbridge in September 2015. In addition to this he has enjoyed six loan spells at Colchester United, Stevenage Borough, Grays Athletic, Boston United and Oxford United.
