Tom Richards

Tom Richards played in Fulham's academy from 2011 until 2015. A pacey winger or full-back, Tom failed to break through to the first team at Craven Cottage despite improvements as a player during his time with the club and was let go in the summer of 2015 to Aldershot Town.

Fulham (2011-2015)
Tom signed for the club after previously playing Sunday league football. He originally played predominantly at left back for the U18 squad, before gradually being used in a more attacking role on the left side of midfield. He enjoyed success with the U18's, winning the national title in 2012 and 2013 and the Dallas Cup, also in 2013.

He made the transition to the U21 squad in 2013-14, getting a loan move to AFC Wimbledon in League Two for the latter part of the season. In 2014-15, Tom was then loaned out to Aldershot in the Conference Premier for a month in February 2015.

After Fulham
Tom was signed up by Conference side Aldershot Town on a full time basis on 1 July 2015, following his loan spell with the club at the tail end of 2014-15.
