Richards has already made significant strides in his career, earning his senior national team debut for Jamaica in March against Trinidad & Tobago. He followed it up with his first start against the same opposition and also featured in a match against Qatar earlier this month.
Impressed by his potential, Richards has been selected as part of Jamaica’s squad for the prestigious CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Jamaican team will kick off their Group A campaign against the United States later today in Chicago.
Richards is the hottest prospect in Jamaican football right now and recently recorded 48 goal contributions the Manning Cup, which is an Under 19 competition.
