Jayden Richardson, born on 4 September 2000 (age 25), is an English right-back whose senior career has taken proper shape at St Mirren. He came through the Nottingham Forest set-up and made two league appearances there in 2021-22, but that part of the story is really the preface.
At St Mirren, wearing the number 2 shirt, Richardson has become a regular first-team presence rather than a passing squad name. In 2025-26 he made 34 league appearances, with a further four in the Scottish Cup and two in the Premiership play-offs, taking him to 40 appearances for the club across all competitions.
That run makes St Mirren the main body of his career so far. He is not a headline act, and there is no need to pretend otherwise, but he has been used consistently in a side where reliability at full-back still counts for something. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Richardson’s career remains a developing one: early football at Nottingham Forest, then a much clearer role at St Mirren. For now, his relevance is straightforward – he is part of their current first-team picture and has built his strongest senior spell there.
