Real Bedford manager Rob Sinclair was delighted to bring Richardson into the squad:
“Drew is a great character with a lot of experience for a player so young. He brings a lot of athleticism as well as being really comfortable on the ball. His skills and leadership will be vital over the coming months so I’m delighted to bring him to McMullen Park”
