From 2005 to 2007, he skated with Élodie Brouiller. They competed at two World Junior Championships, placing 13th in 2006 and 7th in 2007. Brouiller/Richaud won two medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and qualified for the JGP Final in 2006.[3] They ended their partnership in 2007.[2]

Subsequently, Richaud partnered with Canada's Terra Findlay in November 2007. During the 2008–2009 season, they placed 10th at the World Junior Championships.[4] Their partnership concluded at the end of the season.[5]
