Richardson joined the Northside Wizards for the 2023 NBL1 North season. A 201 cm, 109 kg forward, Richardson was born on 30 September 2003 and made his first verified state league appearances with Northside that year. In his debut NBL1 season he averaged 19 minutes per game with 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks, establishing himself as a frontcourt rotation player for the Wizards.
Richardson returned to the Northside Wizards for the 2024 NBL1 North season, remaining with the club as part of its men’s roster under Darryl MacDonald. His 2024 stint is verified through Northside’s league roster listings, although no additional fully verified season-average line or finals result was clearly available to add here without overstating the record.
Richardson joined Northside again for the 2025 NBL1 North season and produced his clearest statistical jump at state league level. He averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.6 blocks per game, and he finished 14th in the league for rebounding. His notable 2025 performances included 20 points in Northside’s 90–81 win over Rockhampton on 6 June, 10 points and 13 rebounds in the 95–85 win over Ipswich on 30 May, and 26 points with nine rebounds, four steals and two assists on 10-of-12 shooting against Southern Districts on 12 July.
Richardson re-signed with the Northside Wizards for the 2026 NBL1 North season, making it a fourth straight year with the club. At the time of that re-signing, his most recently completed state league season remained the 2025 campaign in which he had set his best verified scoring and rebounding numbers for Northside.
