Jazz Richards

Cardiff City On 19 July 2016, Richards joined Championship club Cardiff City on a three-year deal in a swap move which saw Scott Malone join Fulham. He made his debut in a goalless draw at Birmingham City, where he became embroiled in controversy after reportedly refusing to do Cardiff's traditional ayatollah gesture, performed by fans of the club, several times at the match. However, the club later released video footage that showed him performing the gesture.

After starting the season as a regular in the first team, Richards suffered a training injury in September that led to him missing three months of the season. His lengthy rehabilitation prompted manager Neil Warnock to quip "I've had lads with broken legs recover quicker than him." He eventually made his return on 2 January, as unused substitute against Aston Villa. He enjoyed an extended run in the first team soon after, playing in ten of the club's following twelve matches, stating that he felt that he had "a lot more to show. I think I'm nowhere near my full potential." In his first season with Cardiff, he appeared in a career high 26 league matches. He returned from injury in January 2018, playing in five matches before his season was ended by a further injury. He made only eleven appearances in all competitions during the season as Cardiff achieved promotion after finishing as runners-up.

Haverfordwest County In March 2021, Richards joined Cymru Premier side Haverfordwest County on a contract until the end of the season. In May 2021, Richards signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until the end of the 2021–22 season. In April 2022, Richards scored his first senior professional goals with a hat trick against Cefn Druids. Subsequently, he signed a two year contract extension to the end of the 2023/2024 season.

Richards played in Haverfordwest's Europa Conference League campaign in 2023, playing against teams KF Shkendija and B36 Torshavn. In May 2024, Richards was placed on the expired contracts list at Haverfordwest and not included in the 2024–25 season squad.

International career Richards represented the Wales under-17 and under-19 sides. Wales qualified for Euro 2016 and Richards was called up into the final 23-man squad. He played his only game in the tournament as a late substitute in the team's first match, a 2–1 victory over Slovakia. Wales went on to reach the semi-finals before losing to Portugal. As of October 2018, Richards has had 14 international caps with Wales, including seven appearances in the starting lineup. He played in four matches in Euro 2016 qualifying and three in 2018 World Cup qualifying.
