Highly-rated winger Amani Richards joined the Grecians on a season-long loan from Premier League side Leicester City in the Summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old right sided attacker has scored three goals in three games for the Foxes Under-21s this season in the Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy – against fellow League One side Burton Albion - as well as providing one assist.

Richards joined Leicester from Arsenal in 2021, and made a huge impact in the academy scoring five times in just 13 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League. The following season saw him register an impeccable scoring record of 12 in 21 appearances as well as five assists. 

In last season’s Premier League 2, Richards scored three in 19 with a further five assists.
