Joe Richards has been sent out on loan by Leeds United
Joe Richards, a full-back from Leeds United's academy, signed a short-term loan with South Shields in National League North today. The adaptable youngster, who gets up and down the pitch on either flank, has already made five appearances for Scott Gardner's under-21 team in Premier League 2 this season.
A club statement said: “Everyone would like to wish Joe well during his time on Tyneside and we look forward to seeing his further development while away from the club.” Richards’s exit follows those of Luca Thomas and Cian Coleman. The former joined York City on loan last week and scored on his debut at the weekend. Meanwhile, the latter went out to Buxton in National League North.
Gardner’s side are next in action on Monday, when they visit Nottingham Forest at Loughborough University for a 7pm kick-off.
