Richard wrote himself in to City history after bagging the final goal at Colchester's Layer Road in last season's penultimate game.
His first half strike proved to be the goal which secured City a place in the Premier League, and his twelfth of an impressive debut season.
The 30-year-old signed from Leeds United for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2007.
He began his career with York City but enjoyed his most fruitful spell in front of goal at Preston, where he partnered Ricardo Fuller in attack.
He will hope to continue on from where he left off last season and play a significant role in helping the club retain their Premier League status.
