    Former England footballer Micah Richards has been fined for speeding in Knaresborough.

    Richards, 34, of Nidd, near Harrogate, appeared before Harrogate Magistrates Court yesterday charged with the offence.

    He pleaded guilty to speeding in excess of 30 mph on the B6165 at an address listed as Howe Hill in Knaresborough on August 3 last year.

    A separate charge of failing to identify the driver of a vehicle in relation to another traffic offence on December 27, 2022, was withdrawn.

    The 34-year-old, who was driving a Rolls Royce at the time, was fined £666 and his licence was endorsed with three penalty points.

    The magistrates also ordered Richards to pay a victim surcharge of £266 and court costs of £90.

    Richards was previously banned from driving for six months in 2013 after he failed to respond to two speeding notices sent to his home address.

    The former footballer made 203 Premier League appearances for Aston Villa and Manchester City, where he won the league in 2012 and FA Cup in 2011, before retiring in 2019.

    He also won 13 caps for England between 2006 and 2012.

    Richards now works as a pundit for Sky Sports and BBC Sport.
