Announces retirement
Richards announced his retirement from professional soccer on Friday, Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News reports.
ANALYSIS
Richards was once a promising young defender who made his England debut at 18-years-old. He suffered multiple injuries, which hurt his progress over the last few years as he played in just two games over the past three seasons before being released by Aston Villa this summer. He'll move into an ambassador role with Manchester City now that he's hanging up his boots.
