Richardson backs himself to be one of league's best

Richardson vows to recapture his best form after injury-disrupted start at Carlisle following summer move from Gateshead.

Carlisle United defender Kenton Richardson has pledged to become one of the National League's best defenders after an injury-hit beginning at the club. The 27-year-old joined from Gateshead in the summer alongside head coach Rob Elliot but has made only two substitute league appearances so far. After making his first start in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round win over Tamworth, Richardson told BBC Radio Cumbria he aims to show the form he displayed in previous seasons, acknowledging he wasn't at his best last term.
