Redmayne played youth football with both the New South Wales Institute of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport. As a result of a NSWIS tour of England, Redmayne had a short trial at Arsenal FC. Despite an initial offer of a move to England, Arsenal withdrew their offer after signing 15-year-old Wojciech Szczęsny instead. His time at the AIS included two seasons in the Victorian Premier League.[3][4][5]
Central Coast Mariners

Redmayne signed with hometown club Central Coast Mariners for the 2007–08 A-League.[6] Redmayne made his competitive debut for the club in September 2008, coming on as an early substitute for the injured Mark Bosnich in a win over Perth Glory.[7] Redmayne made his starting debut for the club one week later in a 3–3 draw with Adelaide United.[8]
Redmayne made what was to be his final competitive appearance for the Mariners in January 2010, a 2–0 loss to Wellington Phoenix.[9]
Brisbane Roar
On 18 January 2010 it was announced he would be joining Brisbane Roar after failing to find regular game time at the Mariners.[10] Redmayne made his debut for the club as an 80th-minute substitute for regular goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos in a 4–0 win at home to Gold Coast United.[11] He made a second appearance for the Roar in the side's final match of the 2011–12 A-League regular season – again in a win over Gold Coast United.[12]
Melbourne City
On 21 January 2012, Melbourne Heart announced the Redmayne as their first signing for the 2012–13 A-League season.[13] In January 2013, he made his Heart debut in a victory over Newcastle Jets and was subsequently promoted to first-choice 'keeper at the club.[14]
With first choice keeper Danny Vukovic out on international duty, Redmayne made his first appearance for the Sky Blues against Perth Glory keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 win.[17] With the departure of Vukovic, Redmayne began pre-season as first-choice and starting every match. He started the first game of the season against rivals Melbourne Victory, helping the team to a 1–0 win. He subsequently won the A-League Championship with Sydney in 2019 and again in 2020.
Redmayne was first called up to the Australian national squad in June 2019 for a friendly against South Korea, after his performance in the 2019 A-League Grand Final.[18] He made his international debut in the friendly, playing a full game as Australia lost 1–0.[19]
On 13 June 2022, Redmayne came off the bench in the 120th minute of the FIFA World Cup play-off match against Peru. In the penalty shoot-out, he successfully put off the Peru players and managed to save the vital penalty to help secure Australia's passage to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[20] In an interview after the game, Redmayne revealed that the tactic had been planned for months.[21]
Personal life
Outside of his football career, Redmayne has harboured ambitions to become a primary school teacher. During the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Redmayne finished his studies and received his teaching degree during the tournament. [22]
