Boston United's midfielder Richards is set to depart the club on June 30. The soon-to-be 29-year-old, who was voted the club's player of the year in April, has opted to embark on a new opportunity elsewhere. Richards is currently sat 59th on the club's all-time appearances list with 165 outings to his name – across three permanent seasons and one earlier loan spell with the Pilgrims. He was part of the team which won promotion back to the National League in 2024 and he has subsequently gone on to play regularly as United have chalked up 19th and 12th placed finishes since their return to the top flight of non-league football. And with his departure, the club will be looking to strengthen their squad. Gavan Holohan is the only confirmed new signing so far, but further announcements will follow over the coming days regarding the next additions to the United squad. Richards' experience will be missed, but the club is looking forward to the new season. The midfielder's dedication and commitment to the club have been appreciated by the fans and the team. So the search for his replacement begins, with the club looking to bring in new talent to strengthen their squad. The club's manager will be looking to make some key signings to ensure a successful season. With the new season approaching, the club is gearing up for a challenging but exciting campaign.
