Baker-Richardson made his professional debut with Coventry City as a substitute on 7 December 2013 in a 1–1 FA Cup Second Round draw with Hartlepool United, coming on to replace Franck Moussa after 71 minutes.[3]

Non-league edit

On 20 February 2014, Baker-Richardson joined Conference side Tamworth on a youth loan.[4] He made his debut on 22 February 2014, coming on in the 68th minute for Lee Hildreth in the 1–1 draw against Welling United.[5] He subsequently joined Northern Premier League Premier Division team Ilkeston on loan in March 2014.[6]

On Friday 7 August 2015, Baker-Richardson signed for Southern League Premier side Kettering Town for the 2015–16 season. However following a bad injury in October that year he was ignored by manager Marcus Law and switched to fellow Southern League Premier team Leamington in February 2016.[7]

After a successful 2016–17 season with Leamington, Baker-Richardson went on trial with Premier League team Leicester City in August 2017.[8]

Swansea City edit

On 14 August 2017, Baker-Richardson joined Premier League side Swansea City on a two-year deal.[9] He made his debut for Swansea on 28 August 2018 in a 1–0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.[10] He scored his first goal for the club on 29 September 2018 during a 3–0 win over Queens Park Rangers[11]

On 9 August 2019, Baker-Richardson joined Accrington Stanley on loan until the end of the season.[12]

Barrow edit

On 8 October 2020, following release from Swansea, Baker-Richardson joined League Two side Barrow on a free transfer.[13] On 28 January 2021, he joined Barnet on loan for the rest of the season.[14] He was released by Barrow at the end of the season.[15]

Newport County edit

In June 2021 he joined Newport County on a one-year deal for the 2021-22 season.[16] He made his debut for Newport in the 2-1 League Two win against Walsall on 18 September 2021.[17] Baker-Richardson scored his first goal for Newport on 2 October 2021 in the 3-0 League Two win against Scunthorpe United.[18]

Crewe Alexandra edit

On 31 May 2022, it was reported that Baker-Richardson was joining Crewe Alexandra, newly relegated to League Two, on a two-year deal.[19] He made a substitute appearance in Crewe's opening game of the 2022–23 season, a 2–1 victory over Rochdale at Spotland on 30 July 2022,[20] and, after again coming on as a second-half substitute, scored his first Crewe goal in the following game, a 3–0 win over Harrogate Town at Gresty Road on 6 August 2022.[21] He made his first Crewe start on 9 August 2022, playing in an EFL League Cup first round defeat at Grimsby Town.[22] Baker-Richardson then scored three times in two home league games, one against Sutton United on 16 August and a first-half brace against Northampton Town on 20 August 2022.[23] He missed Crewe's match at Carlisle United on 1 October 2022 after injuring his leg while playing Xbox,[24] but recovered to play six games in October, scoring once, before sustaining a serious hamstring injury.[25] He eventually returned to first-team action on 4 March 2023, coming on as a 71st minute substitute in a 1–1 draw at Sutton United,[26] finishing the season with nine goals in 32 matches.[27]

In the 2023–24 season, Baker-Richardson beat his previous season's tally, scoring ten times in 40 appearances[28] before incurring a dislocated shoulder at the start of Crewe's 1–0 victory over Sutton United at Gresty Road on 12 March 2024,[29][30] ruling him out for up to four weeks.[31]
