Jayden Richardson

Jayden Richardson at Nottingham Forest, where he signed his first professional deal in April 2019. The step up to senior football required patience; he made just two first-team appearances before the club sent him out to gain experience. His development path took him through a series of loans to Exeter City, Forest Green Rovers, and Notts County, allowing him to adapt to the physical demands of the game. He eventually joined Aberdeen in the summer of 2022, securing a permanent move. At Pittodrie, Richardson made 19 appearances for the Scottish side before moving on to St Mirren in June 2025. Richardson made 35 appearances and scored two goals, helping the club win the National League South play-offs in 2025. He is a right-footed defender standing 183 cm tall. Richardson wears the number 2 shirt for St Mirren. Some sources have previously misidentified his background, but he is English and has not earned international caps for any nation. His journey reflects a player who found his best football outside the spotlight of the top flight.
