WELCOME TO MEADOW PARK, JAYDEN RICHARDSON!

Boreham Wood Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of talented right-back, Jayden Richardson, who joins the club as a free agent, having previously been at SPFL side, Aberdeen. The 24-year-old will wear the number 26 for Luke Garrard’s side!

Jayden’s breakthrough campaign came in 2019/20 under Matt Taylor at Exeter City, where he featured in 28 games across League Two, the League Two play-offs, the EFL trophy and the FA Cup. The full-back found the back of the net on two occasions that season.

Richardson would then go on to join Forest Green Rovers on loan, for whom he would rack up 36 appearances over the 2020/21 season, gaining a lot more valuable experience in the English game.

Following this, Jayden would go on another loan, this time to Notts County of the National League at the time. The right-back would feature 25 times in the National League that season for the Magpies, accompanied by 2 outings in the Championship across the River Trent for his parent club at the time, Nottingham Forest.

After his loan spell at Notts County, Richardson joined Scottish side, Aberdeen on a permanent transfer from Forest in July of 2022. The 24-year-old featured 19 times in the SPFL during the 2022/23 season, his first experience of top-flight football.

Last season saw Jayden make two more loan moves, this time to Stockport County in July of last year and to Colchester United earlier this year in January. Over these two loan moves, Richardson racked up a total of 22 more League Two appearances.

And that brings us to today as Jayden Richardson joins up with Luke Garrard and the squad, bringing a wealth of experience playing at some of the highest levels with him.

Jayden, in his first interview as a Boreham Wood player, stated that he hopes to “bring all of that experience to the side and help get the club back to where it belongs.”

Welcome to the Meadow Park, Jayden!
