Newcastle United are searching for a new Under-21 assistant coach to work alongside Elliott Dickman - after the departure of Kevin Richardson.
The former England international has served the club well and at times has stepped in as reserve team boss. But leaves to spend more time with his family.
Richardson said: "I have very much enjoyed my work at the Academy and wish the players and staff every success for the future as I look forward to spending more time with my family after what has been an incredible career."
