Richards said of his fellow defender: “He’s got a lot of experience and he’s a good guy with a lot of knowledge.
“He’s like a teacher, it’s crazy; like a coach on the field. Picking his brain little by little has been really good and I’ve learned a lot.
“I give him a lot of c##p for being old, but he’s definitely helped me out a lot!
“I could always take on more of a leadership role. It’s something I still struggle with, but I’m working on becoming a leader, regardless of who else is back there.”
