Playing career

Northern Spirit

Richter made 18 appearances, but failed to score, and found himself without a club when New Zealand Knights became defunct.

He and several other players were locked in a legal battle with the now defunct New Zealand Knights owners, Soccer New Zealand, and the Football Federation of Australia over lost wages. The latter two took over the running of the club for the remainder of the 2006-2007 A-league season. With the advice of the Australian Professional Footballers' Association and FIFPro there was no action taken against any party due to court and legal costs as well as lack of enough evidence to gain a positive result for the players.

Brisbane Strikers
