Richard John Huxford, born 25 July 1969, is an ex- professional English footballer who played more than 200 games in the Football League (Scottish Football League). He played a lot of positions, including right back. However, he was also able to play in the middle and as a central defender.

Huxford was a trial player for Cambridge City’s reserve football team. He then played for Ely City in the Eastern Counties League. While he was enrolled at a Christian college, Huxford also attended courses in Hertfordshire. Huxford returned to league football in 2006, first as a fitness coach, but later as a player with Elgin City of Scotland’s Third Division.

He played non-league football for several years, for clubs including Matlock Town, Burton Albion – whose manager met Gresley Rovers’ interest in Huxford with a demand for a transfer fee, despite suggesting the player would “have to improve a great deal” to find his way into Burton’s long-term plans – Gainsborough Trinity, and Kettering Town, for whom he played 103 games in all competitions.

Alloa had just been promoted to the Scottish First Division. After suffering an injury during his season at Alloa, he was among the many players who were released when the club was relegated. Partick Thistle offered him a three-month contract at the beginning of the 2000-01 season.

In an exchange deal with Dave Tomlinson, Huxford was able to enter the Football League in August 1992 as part of Barnet. Huxford was granted a free transfer to Division One club Millwall after playing 33 league games as Barnet won Division Three. In his first season, he played 36 games in all competitions. This helped the club reach the playoffs. They lost to Derby County in semifinal. He also spent a month as a cover for Scott Hiley at Birmingham City during that season.

His Millwall career was short-lived. He made a three-minute substitute appearance in the following season. Then he was sent out on a month’s loan to Bradford City of Division 2. Huxford signed for Bradford City permanently for a fee in the range of PS50,000. The loan was then extended for two more months. He was a key contributor to the club’s promotion from Division One to Division One through the play-offs and helped to build up to the goals against Notts County in the play off final. He was not able to play at Bradford’s higher level and, after a spell on loan at Peterborough United in January 1997, the club released him and he signed a contract with Burnley. It was a temporary deal that lasted until the end. He was given an extension to his contract by Chris Waddle, who placed him in the starting 11, but he quickly fell out of favor and was permitted to join Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish League on loan.

In 2005, he was appointed as a Sports Science Officer for the Scottish Institute of Sport.
