Alongside her GB honors, Richardson-Walsh captained England since 2003 where she won the European Championships in 2015 and secured a bronze and two silvers in three successive Commonwealth Games.

After winning bronze in the London 2012 Olympics, Richardson-Walsh’s greatest achievement as a player came during the 2016 Rio Olympics where she was instrumental in leading GB to their first ever women’s hockey gold medal.
