MICAH RICHARDS has revealed the role John Terry played in his career coming to an early end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Richards hung up his boots in 2019 after a three-year spell at Aston Villa and it was Terry\u2019s arrival that inadvertently saw his time with the Villans come to an end. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Terry arrived at Villa Park in 2017 after an incredible career with Chelsea making over 700 appearances for The Blues.<\/p>\n

And then-manager Steve Bruce had intended to have Richards line up alongside the England legend in a back three as Villa searched for promotion back into the Premier League. <\/p>\n

However Terry wasn\u2019t keen on the idea of playing in a different defensive system and his six-word request to Bruce saw Richards' play-time take a huge blow. <\/p>\n

Speaking on BBC\u2019s MOTD Top 10 podcast, Richards said: \u201cHe [Steve Bruce] told me he was going to play me\u00a0that season. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we signed John Terry. So, it was going to be me on the right of the three, John Terry and James Chester.<\/p>\n

\u201cJT basically came to Villa and said \u2018I'm not playing in a three\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Steve Bruce pulls me and he says \u2018well, I've got to play JT\u2019 and he had James Chester at Hull so I knew the writing was on the wall then.\u201d <\/p>\n

As a result of the new look setup at the back, Richards failed to make a single appearance in the 2017\/18 season. <\/p>\n

And after picking up a knee injury the following year he was unable to return to the pitch and ended up calling quits on his career.<\/p>\n

However the former Cityzen doesn\u2019t seem to hold any grudges against Terry or Bruce for the situation despite it being the beginning of the end for his career.<\/p>\n
