About
Omar Richards is an English defender currently on the books at Nottingham Forest, where the left-back has spent much of his time battling injury. Born in Lewisham in 1998, Richards came through Fulham’s youth ranks before joining Reading’s academy, breaking into the senior side in 2017 and making more than 100 appearances for the Royals. That form earned him a free transfer to Bayern Munich in 2021, where he won a Bundesliga title and picked up an England Under-21 cap. Forest signed him from Bayern in 2022 for a reported £10m, but a hairline leg fracture sustained in pre-season cost him the entire 2022-23 campaign, and a later loan spell at Olympiacos was also disrupted by injury. His current Forest contract runs until August 2026, and he is reported to earn around £30,000 per week.
