Career

Wigan Athletic Redmond joined Wigan Athletic after being released by Everton in 2009. It was later explained that Redmond was released by Everton because he was too small. On 8 January 2011, he made his debut for Wigan, replacing James McArthur in the 80th minute of the FA Cup third round win at Hull City.

Loan Spells He moved on loan to Scottish First Division club Hamilton Academical until the end of the season on 13 January 2012, making his debut on the same day in a 1–0 win against Partick Thistle. The next game, on 21 January 2012, Redmond scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–2 draw against Ayr United. Redmond would score four more goals against Livingston, Queen of the South, Ayr United (again) and Partick Thistle. Despite Hamilton being keen to extend his loan further, Redmond returned to his parent club.

On 8 February 2014, Redmond joined Carlisle United on a one-month loan. On 10 March 2014, he extended his loan spell with the Cumbrians for a further month until 5 April 2014. At the end of the season, Redmond was offered a new deal by Wigan, but he turned the offer down.

Hamilton Academical Redmond signed a two-year contract with Hamilton Academical in June 2014. Upon making the move, Redmond revealed he turned down a big money contract from Wigan, in an effort to kick start his career.

He made his second debut for the club on 2 August 2014, as Hamilton beat Arbroath 2–1 in the Scottish League Cup. He scored his first league goal of the season against Partick Thistle in a 3–3 draw on 1 November 2014. Redmond said his first Hamilton goal since his return was "a long time coming" following his goal drought. Redmond scored his first goal of 2015, in a 5–0 win over rivals Motherwell. However, Redmond ended his first season at Hamilton Academical with 27 appearances and two goals in all competitions after suffering a knee injury that ruled him out for the entire season.

He was one of seven first-team players released by Hamilton at the end of the 2017–18 season.

The New Saints After leaving Hamilton, Redmond signed for Welsh club The New Saints in May 2018.
