Garry Richards (born 11 June 1986 in Romford, England) is a retired English footballer. He was a defender.
Career
He scored his first career goal on 30 January 2007 against Preston North End, which was the only goal in a 1–0 win for his previous club Colchester United.
On 9 February 2007, Richards signed for Brentford on a one-month loan. This was later extended to the end of the 2006/07 season. However, due to a hip injury sustained in the game against Cheltenham Town, Richards returned prematurely from his loan spell in April. He played ten games in total for Brentford, scoring one goal. Richards signed for Southend United on a two-year deal, for an undisclosed fee, on 4 August 2007.[1]
Richards signed for Gillingham on 25 January 2008 from Southend United for an undisclosed fee,[2] and made his debut the following day in the 2–1 away defeat to Walsall. On 21 May 2012 Richards was released by Gillingham.
On 25 June 2012 Richards signed a two-year contract with Luton Town.[3] He suffered a serious ankle injury during pre-season with Luton and failed to play a single game for the club. He and the club agreed to a mutual termination of his contract on 14 October 2013.[4] Two days later, he announced his retirement via Twitter.[5]
