Richards, Jana

On signing Jana in January 2018, the joint manager Abbie said the following  

"With Jana we get pure pace, raw talent and a striker who knows where the back of the net is. With international honours and league experience with Torquay when I heard she was keen to join us, I ensured we acted swiftly to secure her"  


Jana-Kate Richards was a centre-forward who has played for Torquay, Alphington and Feniton and also represented her country, Northern Ireland, against Wales. 

In April 2017, whilst playing for Torquay, Jana was picked to play for Northern Ireland and the club reported the following
“TULFC are pleased to announce that our very own Jana Richards has received her first Senior international call up for Northern Ireland. Jana is on her way to Wales to take part in a training camp for the week where they also have back to back fixtures against the Welsh Senior international squad. Jana's recent performances have been very impressive hence the recognition in her call up. Everyone at Torquay United Ladies wishes Jana lots of luck and best wishes.”

By the end of the season, Jana had played 15 games and scored 19 goals.

In 2018/19 she played 6 more times for Exeter before joining Buckland Athletic and playing a further 12 games scoring 4 goals.
In 2019/20, Jana played a further 12 games for Buckland as a defender before the season was curtailed.
