Born in Manchester, Redmond formally signed for Manchester United in July 2013 from Fletcher Moss Rangers,[4][2] although he had been associated with the club since the age of 8.[5] During his time in the youth system at Old Trafford, he won the U21 Premier League twice and played in the UEFA Youth League.[5]
In July 2017, he joined League One side Scunthorpe United on a loan deal until January 2018.[6] Redmond made his debut for Scunthorpe against Notts County in the EFL Cup on 8 August 2017, coming on for Sam Mantom in the 89th minute while the score was 3–3. He scored in the following penalty shoot-out which saw Scunthorpe win 6–5.[7] He was recalled by Manchester United in January 2018.[8]
He was one of eight players released by Manchester United at the end of the 2017–18 season;[9] He later said that he found out via Twitter.[10][5]
In June 2018, he went on trial with Shrewsbury Town.[11]
National League side Salford City signed Redmond on 31 January 2019.[12] His first goal for the club came on 18 March, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win against Aldershot Town, helping close the gap to league leaders Leyton Orient to four points.[13] Overall, he started 11 of Salford's final 12 league fixtures as they reached the National League play-offs.[14]
On 11 May 2019, Salford defeated Fylde 3–0 in the play-off Final, with Redmond contributing heavily to the opening goal from Emmanuel Dieseruvwe;[15] this marked the first time Salford had ever reached the Football League.[16] It was announced at the end of May that he had been offered a new deal by the club, but had decided to pursue his career elsewhere, and would leave the club at the end of June when his contract expired.[17]
On 8 June 2019, Redmond signed for Wrexham on a two-year deal.[18][19] On 3 August, he made his début for Wrexham on the opening day of the National League season, starting in a 2–1 home win against Barrow.[20] He scored his first for the club in a 1–1 draw on 18 August, a "magnificent" strike earning Wrexham a point away to Notts County.[21] On 2 June 2022, Wrexham released six players which included Redmond.[22]
On 14 January 2022, Redmond joined National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on loan until the end of the season.[23]
Redmond is the son of former left-back Paul Edwards, who made appearances in the English Football League for six different clubs.[18][5]
