Richard became one of Rod Brown's first signings after working together for many years at Redditch United.

An experienced goalkeeper who has a wealth of non-league experience with Redditch United and Bromsgrove Rovers.

The 34-year-old keeper has excellent shot-stopping ability and is also very good with his kicking and has impressed in his first few games. The highlight of Richard's Valley career to date was the key penalty save in the 3-2 win at Banbury.
