Richardson was born in Bishop Burton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. He began his football career with nearby Leven before joining Birmingham in 1936, and made his debut in the First Division on 22 April 1936 in a 4–1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday. Richardson, a small but very pacy outside right, found himself behind Frank White and Dennis Jennings in the pecking order, and played only twice more for the first team. He joined Swansea Town in November 1938, where he scored twice in 18 Second Division appearances.
