Announcing her Blackburn Rovers departure, Richards said “Now’s the right time to officially announce my departure from the club I’ve called home for the last four seasons.

“Closing this chapter and making this decision was far from easy for so many reasons.

“I will cherish my time in the blue and white forever with no regrets, knowing that I gave my all every time I wore the badge.

“Thanks to my teammates, coaches, fans and everyone else that I have encountered on my Rovers journey. It has been a pleasure!”
