Richard Barrington Michael Langley (born 27 December 1979) is an English born-Jamaican footballer who plays for Thai Premier League side Pattaya United. He has previously played for Queens Park Rangers, Cardiff City and Luton Town and has been capped by Jamaica.

[edit] Club career

Born in Harlesden, London, Langley rose through the youth system at Queens Park Rangers, signing a professional contract in 1996.

After a trial with Crystal Palace, he signed for Cardiff City in 2003 for an initial fee of £200,000 rising to around £250,000 on appearances. He returned to QPR in August 2005, but was not given a contract extension. He joined Luton on a free transfer a year later, and wore the number 17 shirt for the 2006-07 season.

Langley damaged his cruciate knee ligaments in a pre-season friendly in 2007 and missed almost the entire 2007-08 season, making a solitary appearance in the final game of the season. He left Luton at the end of June 2008 when his contract expired, and joined Bristol Rovers on a short-term contract on 21 November 2008 ^[2]

On 1 July 2009 he started training with Blackpool and played in pre-season games,^[3] with Seasiders manager Ian Holloway stating that Langley could be offered a contract if he impressed during a training spell with the club.^[4]

On 28 February 2011 he was due at Pittodrie for talks with Aberdeen manager Craig Brown over a deal.

[edit] International career

In 2001 Langley made his international debut for Jamaica. Despite being born in London, England he qualifies for Jamaica through his father.
