The likes of James Carragher, Scott Smith and even man of the moment Thelo Aasgaard are not considered senior players for the time being, as they were under the age of 21 on January 1, 2022.
And Richardson refused to rule out the possibility of adding to his pool if the right player became available.

"If the right player's out there, and they fit the environment, and the profile, we'd certainly speak about it.
"That's not to say we're not actively galvanising ourselves and scrambling around to sign players.
"But you're always willing and open to any discussion as long as it suits all parties."
