The Jamaica international signed for the Blues in the summer and trained with the first-team squad during our pre-season tour of the USA.

Richards celebrated his 18th birthday in November and has now finalised his switch to Stamford Bridge.

‘I’m so pleased to be here,’ said Richards. ‘My dream was always to sign a professional contract and to have the chance to do that here at Chelsea, it’s difficult to put into words the emotions. I just can’t wait to get started.’

Born in Port Royal, the young forward developed into a full international at the Phoenix Allstars Football Academy, which he joined at the age of 11.

Richards has been capped ten times by Jamaica and scored his first international goal against Trinidad and Tobago in June 2023.

Welcome to Chelsea, Dujuan!
