Richardson came through the youth team at Hartlepool United. He made his senior debut for Hartlepool as a substitute for Liam Donnelly in a 4–0 defeat to Mansfield Town on 11 February 2017.[4] Richardson signed his first professional contract in March 2017 alongside three other Hartlepool players.[5]
Following the expiration of his contract with Hartlepool, Richardson joined League One side Sunderland on a two-year deal, initially joining the club's under-23 side.[6]
On 8 March 2021, Richardson joined National League side Notts County on loan until 5 April 2021.[7] However, an injury meant that Richardson only played one game for County.
Richardson made his Sunderland debut on 5 October 2021 in an EFL Trophy win against Lincoln City.[8]
Richardson joined National League North side Spennymoor Town on a 28 day loan deal on 12 November 2021.[9] The loan deal was later extended until the end of the season.[10]
After Sunderland's promotion to the Championship, it was announced in May 2022 that Richardson was one of 16 players released by the club.[11] He made three appearances in total for the Black Cats – all in the EFL Trophy.
On 9 June 2022, Richardson signed for National League side Gateshead on a one-year deal.[12]
In March 2023, Richardson received his first call up for the England C team for their game against Wales C.[13]
Kenton's grandfather Fred Richardson was a professional footballer who played for Chelsea, Hartlepools United, Barnsley, Chester and West Brom.[14] Richardson is a boyhood Sunderland fan.[15]
