In August 2019, still aged 16, he made the squad for the first team for an EFL Cup tie against League OneSunderland at Turf Moor.[3] However, he remained an unusued substitute as the Clarets were knocked out after they lost 3–1.[3] On his 17th birthday in February 2020, Richardson signed his first professional contract with the club until the summer of 2022.[4] Back and hamstring injuries slightly hampered his progress in the second half of the season but he still scored a total of 7 goals for the under-18 and under-23 squads.[3] He was placed into the first-team bubble by manager Sean Dyche before the 2020–21 season commenced and played in some pre-season friendlies.[3] He made his professional debut for the first-team in a 4–0 Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur on 28 February 2021, replacing Jay Rodriguez as a late substitute.[5] At 18 years and 21 days, he became Burnley's youngest Premier League debutant.[6]

Richardson was recalled by Burnley on 26 January 2023, he had scored two goals in fifteen appearances in all competitions. Manager Paul Hurst stated upon his departure “We thank Lewis for his contribution to our season. Obviously the last one that he had set us up for this FA Cup game at Luton and I think that he showed, at times, what a good player he is. I think he could have a big future in the game so we thank Burnley for allowing him to come to us for the first half of the season and I’ll certainly be watching his career with interest.”[8]
International career
Richardson received his first call-up to England for the under-16 side in December 2018 for a mini-tournament being played in Turkey in January 2019.[9] He scored on his debut having come on as a substitute in a group game against Moldova.[3] He made a further two appearances in the tournament and scored another goal against Russia.
