Taylor Richards joined Albion in July 2019 from Manchester City, where he began his professional career and impressed over the years that followed.

The midfielder broke into City’s under-23s during the 2018/19 Premier League 2 campaign, making 15 league appearances, as well as 5 in the UEFA Youth League and 4 in the EFL Trophy.

Richards ended the season with an impressive 10 goals from 29 appearances, and continued his goalscoring form by hitting the winning penalty on his first pre-season appearance for Albion against Crawley Town.
