Josh Richardson is a talented and versatile player with an abundance of intelligence, awareness and technical ability. He also possesses an outstanding work rate and natural fitness levels required to compete at a high standard of collegiate soccer in the US.
Josh graduates from High School next summer, so will be available for Fall, 2023.
He currently plays for Oxford City FC and with their U18 & U23 squads (1st team compete in the National League South – sixth tier of English football). Previously, Josh was signed with the academy at professional side, Oxford United, from U8-U18.
Positionally, Josh can play in numerous roles. His preference is to play as a box-to-box Central Midfielder, mainly because he can offer lots on both sides of the game. He is creative and confident in possession, often driving forwards and ‘making things happen’ in the final third. Equally, his work rate, tenacity and positional awareness enable him to defend effectively; whether that be reading the game and/or in 1v1 scenarios. As a result, Josh can also play at Right Back/Wing-Back when required.
Academically, Josh has a GPA of approximately 2.7 but this is expected to improve once he has updated IB scores in the near future. He scored 940 on the SAT in Summer, 2022.
