Saints Further Shore Up Defence With Signing of Jayden Richardson

St. Mirren announced their second defensive signing in as many days as Jayden Richardson pens a two-year deal in Paisley. The Englishman, who has played North of the border previously with a spell at Aberdeen, signs from English National League side Boreham Wood, scoring two times and assisting another four from right back in 37 appearances. Richardson has enjoyed loan spells in the EFL for most of his career following his graduation from the Nottingham Forest academy in 2019, and now the 24 year-old will be looking to find a club that he can truly settle at, with the Buddies. “I can’t wait to get in front of the crowd and show what I can do. I can bring energy, pace, power and hopefully that athleticism up and down can get the fans on the edge of their seat. “I know what it’s [Scottish football] like. When I was up here in the past, playing against St.Mirren, we knew it was a tough game no matter what and the fans here were outstanding.” St.Mirren boss Stephen Robinson also had words to say after securing another acquisition for his squad. “Jayden is someone I tried to sign a few seasons ago. “All the attributes are there and it’s up to us to get that quality out of him. I think he will be a really good signing for us.”
