Richardson went on the transfer list at Conference club Chester in July 2000 and rarely featured last season. He was released in February and returned to Third Division football signing for York City. He appeared in the starting line-up for the first time in the vital win at Rochdale that ended a long lean run for the Minstermen, and went on to play an impressive role as the club finished the 2000-2001 campaign strongly. A creative and efficient worker in midfield he scored just one goal, netting in the 2-0 home win over Darlington.
Richardson was released by York City at the end of the 2001-02 season.
