The former Ipswich Town defender brought a wealth of experience to the United back line following his arrival in January 2009.
Richard, a Leeds lad who followed the club as a youngster, made over 300 appearances for Ipswich and skippered the club during his long stay at Portman Road.
A former Leeds City Schoolboy, he finally joined his hometown club after spending 16 years at Ipswich. Initially, he joined Leeds on loan before signing a two-and-a-half year contract with the club.
Richard, who scored his first Leeds goal against Southend in January, took over the captain's armband in the absence of Frazer Richardson and was an ever-present in the side last season following his arrival in January, making 24 appearances.
Richard missed the start of the 2009/2010 season after undergoing back surgery during the summer, but he was still handed the role as club captain.
