Pat Richards (born 27 February 1982 in Liverpool, New South Wales) is an Irish-Australian retired professional rugby league footballer. An Ireland international representative winger, he played in the National Rugby League for Sydney clubs Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers, with whom he won the 2005 NRL Premiership, and the Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons in the Super League, winning the 2010 and 2013 Super League Grand Finals with the former. While in Super League, Richards won the Man of Steel award in 2010 and is currently the highest overseas points-scorer in the competition's history.
Born in Liverpool, New South Wales to Irish parents, Richards attended St Therese Primary School and Westfields Sports High School. He played junior rugby league for the Cabramatta club.
Richards played for Parramatta Eels between 2000-2003. In 2001 he was unable to play in the grand final due to a broken leg. After the 2003 season Richards moved to Wests Tigers.
Richards enjoyed a successful 2005 season with the Tigers. He scored a club record 20 tries during the season, since surpassed by Taniela Tuiaki. Richards' drop kicks/outs and towering kick-offs were instrumental in gaining valuable field position for the team during their premiership year.
